Fluocinolone Acetonide Intravitreal Inserts in Geographic Atrophy

May 11, 2015 updated by: Alimera Sciences

A Randomized, Double-Masked, Fellow-Eye Comparison Of The Safety And Efficacy Of 0.2 And 0.5 µg/Day Fluocinolone Acetonide Intravitreal Insert To Sham Injection In Subjects With Bilateral Geographic Atrophy Due To AMD

This study will compare the safety and efficacy of Medidur FA treatment in one eye to the sham-treated fellow eye of subjects with geographic atrophy secondary to AMD.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Each patient received a sham injection in one eye and active treatment in the other eye. The eye receiving active treatment was selected based on a randomization schedule.
