Safety Study of Ranibizumab Eye Injections to Treat Choroidal Neovascularization That Was Caused Other Than by Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

January 7, 2010 updated by: Ophthalmic Consultants of Boston

A Single Center Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Multiple Intravitreal Injections of Ranibizumab in Subjects With CNV Secondary to Causes Other Than AMD.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether ranibizumab is effective in the treatment of choroidal neovascularization secondary to causes other then wet macular-degeneration.
