Evaluation of Safety and Efficacy of Once Monthly Ranibizumab Injections in Chinese Patients With Wet Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Patients (EXTEND II)

November 16, 2016 updated by: Novartis Pharmaceuticals

An Open-label, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Ranibizumab (0.5 mg) in Patients With Subfoveal Choroidal Neovascularization Secondary to Age-related Macular Degeneration Over 12 Months

The purpose of the study is to provide efficacy and safety data for monthly ranibizumab 0.5 mg intravitreal injections in Chinese patients with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The study results will support the regulatory submission in China to make ranibizumab available for clinical use.
