Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Ranibizumab

Administered as an Intravitreal injection

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

ranibizumab

Intervention Type DRUG

All patients will receive ranibizumab 0.5 mg/0.05 ml according to approved label: treatment is given monthly until maximum VA is achieved (i.e. stable VA for three consecutive monthly assessments performed while on ranibizumab treatment). Thereafter according to approved label, patients should be monitored monthly for visual acuity and treatment is to be resumed when monitoring indicates loss of visual acuity due to disease activity. Monthly injections should then be administered until stable visual acuity is reached again for three consecutive monthly assessments (implying a minimum of two injections).

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

Male or female patients aged 50 years or above Willing and capable to provide informed written consent Eye(s) eligible for ranibizumab treatment, with a BCVA below 2/10 due to wet AMD and/or Second eye eligible for ranibizumab treatment, with first eye treated (currently or previously) with ranibizumab, whichever BCVA. In bilateral wAMD patients, the second eye can be included only if the first eye has been treated at least 14 days before with ranibizumab
