Comparison of Age-related Macular Degeneration Treatments Trials: Lucentis-Avastin Trial

Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the relative efficacy and safety of treatment of neovascular AMD with Lucentis on a fixed schedule, Avastin on a fixed schedule, Lucentis on a variable schedule, and Avastin on a variable schedule. A five year follow-up visit is being conducted in 2014 to gather information on long term outcomes.
