Brief Summary

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

Monthly, continuous anti-vegf therapy for patients presenting with active polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy. Two arms, treatment naive and previously treated with an FDA approved anti-VEGF therapy, will be randomized and dosed with open label 2.0mg ranibizumab.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients will be followed with spectral oct, 4m BCVA, ICG, FA and monthly eye examinations for one year.

* A condition, that in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude participation in the study (e.g. unstable medical status including blood pressure, cardiovascular disease)
* Participation in another investigational trial within 30 days of randomization that involved treatment with any drug that has not received regulatory approval at the time of study entry.
* Prior anti-VEGF (Macugen, Avastin, Lucentis) in the study eye within 30 days prior to enrollment in this study
* Known allergy to any component in the study drug
