Anecortave Acetate in Subfoveal Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV) Due to Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

November 27, 2012 updated by: Alcon Research

An Evaluation of Safety and Efficacy of Anecortave Acetate Versus Placebo in Patients With Subfoveal Choroidal Neovascularization Due to Exudative Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate anecortave acetate compared to placebo for maintenance of visual acuity after 24 months of treatment in patients with subfovial choroidal neovascularization (CNV) due to exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
