Summary

The objective of this study is to determine if combination therapy (reduced-fluence Visudyne followed by Lucentis [within 2 hours] or either of two regimens of reduced-fluence Visudyne followed by Lucentis-Dexamethasone triple therapy [within 2 hours]) reduces retreatment rates compared with Lucentis monotherapy while maintaining similar vision outcomes and an acceptable safety profile.

Eligibility

Minimum age: 50 Years. Maximum age: N/A. Gender(s): Both.

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

- Treatment naive for choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to age-related

macular degeneration (AMD) in the study eye except for laser treatment outside the subfoveal area

- Subfoveal CNV due to AMD

- CNV must be = or >50 % of the entire lesion

- All lesion composition types with a lesion greatest linear dimension (GLD) < 5400

microns (approximately = or <9 disc areas [DA])

- Best-corrected Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) visual acuity (VA

score) of 25 - 73 letters (approximate Snellen equivalent of 20/40 - 20/320),

inclusive Exclusion Criteria:

- Subfoveal geographic atrophy or subfoveal fibrosis of the study eye

- Intraocular surgery within 3 months of enrollment

- Inability to attend the protocol-required visits

- Known allergies or hypersensitivity to any of the study treatments.

- Other systemic diseases or active uncontrolled infections that would make subject a

poor medical risk

- Uncontrolled glaucoma, defined as (1)subject is on >1 glaucoma medication (includes

combination treatments) or (2)subject has glaucoma that could lead to progressive visual field deterioration

- If subject has had a stroke within the last year
