Lucentis KAV Study

Summary

Ranibizumab has been proven to be effective in large multicentre studies. However, the injections have to be repeated monthly. A combined therapy with the established photodynamic therapy might even be more effective, less intravitreal injections might be necessary due to a synergistic effect. The study will be conducted to explore whether intravitreal ranibizumab in monotherapy or in combination with verteporfin photodynamic therapy under a new time regime is an effective, safe and convenient treatment for patients with subfoveal Choroidal Neovascularisation (CNV) secondary to Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD).
