Anecortave Acetate Risk-Reduction Trial (AART)

November 27, 2012 updated by: Alcon Research

Efficacy and Safety of Posterior Juxtascleral Administrations of Anecortave Acetate for Depot Suspension (15 mg or 30 mg) Versus Sham Administration in Singaporean Patients at Risk for Progressing to Exudative Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that Anecortave Acetate for Depot Suspension (15 mg or 30 mg) is safe and effective in arresting the progression of non-exudative (dry) age-related macular degeneration in patients who are at risk for progressing to exudative (wet) age-related macular degeneration.
