The MAP Study: Fluocinolone Acetonide (FA)/Medidur (TM) for Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Pilot

NCT00605423

RandomizedParallel-groupSingle-blindTreatment

Summary

Treatment of exudative age-related macular degeneration has been significantly improved by the advent of Lucentis™( which provides improved vision rather than simply stabilization) is common; however, monthly injections may be required to maintain this effect. It is hypothesized that sustained release fluocinolone acetonide will allow maintenance of the improved vision with fewer Lucentis injections.
