Study of the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of 1 Mg/Eye and 3 Mg/Eye Pegaptanib Sodium in Patients With Exudative Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

May 2, 2006 updated by: Eyetech Pharmaceuticals

A Randomized, Double-Masked, Multi-Center Trial of the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of 1 Mg/Eye and 3 Mg/Eye Intravitreal Injections of Pegaptanib Sodium (Anti-Vegf Pegylated Aptamer) Given Every 6 Weeks for 54 Weeks, in Patients With Exudative Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

The objectives of this study are to characterize the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of pegaptanib when given as 1 or 3mg/eye intravitreous injections every 6 weeks for 54 weeks in patients with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to AMD.
