Phase 1/2 Study of an Ocular Sirolimus (Rapamycin) Formulation in Patients With Age-Related Macular Degeneration

January 8, 2013 updated by: Santen Inc.

A Phase 1/2, Randomized Clinical Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Sirolimus in Patients With Newly Diagnosed, Treatment-Naive Sub-Foveal Choroidal Neovascularization Secondary to Age-Related Macular Degeneration

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of an ocular sirolimus (rapamycin) formulation via different injection routes in patients with treatment-naive sub-foveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration.
