Efficacy and Safety Study of MC-1101 1% TID in the Treatment of Nonexudative Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Phase II/III Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Macuclear MC-1101 1% TID in the Treatment of Nonexudative Age-Related Macular Degeneration

This is a Phase II/III vehicle controlled, double masked, single center study. A single eye of 60 individuals with mild to moderate nonexudative Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) will be randomly assigned to receive either topical 1% MC-1101 or a vehicle control over 2 years. The study design will assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of MC-1101 for these patients.

An analysis of the primary and secondary endpoints will be conducted when all subjects have completed 12, 18 and 24 months.
