An Open-Label Investigator Sponsored Trial to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability and Development of Subfoveal Fibrosis By Intravitreal Administration of Altering Regimens of Fovista and Anti-VEGF Therapy in Subjects With Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Summary
The objectives of this study are to establish the safety and tolerability of intravitreous administration of altering regimens of Fovista™ (Anti-PDGF-B pegylated aptamer) administered in combination with Anti-VEGF therapy (Lucentis®, Avastin® or Eylea®) in subjects with subfoveal neovascular age-related macular degeneration. Subjects will be treated with Fovista™ and Anti-VEGF therapy every month for the first three months. Retreatment with Fovista™ and Anti-VEGF will occur if the following findings are present PER INVESTIGATOR DISCRETION: * ≥ 5 ETDRS letters loss OR; * Significant hemorrhage OR; * New or increased RPE elevation consistent with increased disease activity OR; * Increased neovascular lesion size OR; * New or increased foveal intraretinal fluid If anti-VEGF re-treatment is not administered based on the re-treatment criteria noted above, Fovista™ anti-PDGF therapy MUST be administered at a minimum of every 3 months (as monotherapy). Therefore, subjects will be treated with Fovista™ or Anti-VEGF therapy for a total of 3-24 administrations.
