Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of pegaptanib (Macugen®) for neovascular (exudative) age-related macular degeneration (AMD) when the first dose is administered to the submacular space instead of vitreous body in cases when previous state-of-the-art treatment for the AMD was deemed ineffective.
