  2. Change from baseline in SHRM as measured by SD-OCT [44 weeks]

  3. Change from baseline in retinal morphology as measured by SD-OCT [44 weeks]

  4. Change from baseline in MNV lesion area and total MNV leakage area as measured by FA [44 Weeks]

Other Outcome Measures

  1. Number of participants with adverse events [For 44 weeks until the end of the trial]

  2. Serum KHK4951 concentration [44 Weeks]
