Study of Ranibizumab Administered in Conjunction With Photodynamic Therapy With Verteporfin in Patients With Subfoveal Choroidal Neovascularization and Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD) Clinical Trial

Official title: Open-Label, Multicenter, Phase II Study Assessing the Safety of Ranibizumab Administered in Conjunction With Photodynamic Therapy With Verteporfin in Patients With Occult or Predominately Classic Subfoveal Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV) Secondary to Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD)

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Ranibizumab is derived from a murine monoclonal anti- vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antibody and can penetrate through the many retinal cell layers following intravitreal injection. The present study is directed towards the assessment of ranibizumab administered on the same day in combination with verteporfin in patients with subfoveal CNV secondary to ARMD
