Official title
Ranibizumab and Reduced Fluence Photodynamic Therapy for Choroidal Neovascularization in Age Related Macular Degeneration
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Single agent anti-VEGF therapies such as ranibizumab have shown great promise and have set the standard for visual outcomes in treating wet macular degeneration. However, they need to be administered frequently by intraocular injections with the attendant risk of endophthalmitis, lens damage, retinal detachment, and vitreous hemorrhage. The purpose of this trial is to see if using photodynamic therapy in combination with ranibizumab will decrease the number of treatments with ranibizumab.
