Brief Summary

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

The addition of an anti-inflammatory agent could be a valid option for controlling choroidal neovascularization, as simply inhibiting VEGF addresses neither the multifactorial pathogenesis of choroidal neovascularization nor the underlying cause of VEGF production.
