A Clinical Trial to Explore the Safety and Efficacy of Three Different Doses of Pegaptanib Sodium in Patients With Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

January 12, 2007 updated by: Eyetech Pharmaceuticals

An Exploratory Randomized, Double-Masked, Multi-Center Comparative Trial, in Parallel Groups, to Explore the Safety and Efficacy of Three Different Doses of Intravitreous Injections of Pegaptanib Sodium (Anti-VEGF Pegylated Aptamer) Given Every 6 Weeks for 102 Weeks, in Patients With Subfoveal Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

The purpose of this trial is to compare the ability of three different doses of pegaptanib sodium to safely and effectively minimize fluid leakage within the eye, thereby stabilizing or improving vision in patients with wet AMD. The study will also examine the effects of pegaptanib sodium on the cornea and sensory retina of patients with wet AMD.
