Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

50 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Best corrected visual acuity in the study eye between 20/40 and 20/320.
  • Subfoveal choroidal neovascularization, secondary to age related macular degeneration, with a total lesion size [including blood, scar/atrophy & neovascularization] of < 12 total disc areas, of which at least 50% must be active CNV.
  • Any subretinal hemorrhage must comprise no more than 50% of total lesion size.

General Criteria:

  • Patients of either gender, aged greater than 50 years.
  • Women must be using two forms of effective contraception, or be post-menopausal for at least 12 months prior to study entry, or surgically sterile. If of child-bearing potential, a serum pregnancy test must be performed within 48 hours prior to treatment and the result made available prior to treatment initiation. The two forms of effective contraception must be implemented during the study and for at least 60 days following the last dose of test medication.
  • Written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any subfoveal scarring or atrophy and no more than 25% of the total lesion size may be made up of scarring or atrophy.
  • Patients who are eligible for PDT with Visudyne
  • Patients who are eligible for any other of the Sponsor's ongoing AMD studies still open to enrollment.
