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 evaluate anatomical and functional effect of combination therapy of Squalamine Lactate Ophthalmic Solution, 0.2% administered twice daily with monthly ranibizumab intravitreal injections in patients with choroidal neovascularization due to AMD.

Detailed Description

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

Subjects with age-related macular degeneration who meet inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomized to receive monthly intravitreal injections of ranibizumab (Lucentis®) with either Squalamine Lactate Ophthalmic solution 0.2% or placebo eye drops twice a day for 6 months. Subjects will be evaluated with clinical and imaging techniques.

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria

* 50 years of age or older
* A diagnosis of choroidal neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with choroidal neovascularization (CNV) comprising at least 50% of the total lesion area in the study eye
* Central retinal thickness ≥ 300 μm and presence of subretinal fluid or cystoid edema by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
* Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) of 20/40 to 20/320 by Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Protocol

Exclusion Criteria

* Neovascularization secondary to any other condition than AMD in the study eye
* Blood occupying greater than 50% of the AMD lesion, or blood \> 1.0 sq. mm underlying the fovea
* PED without associated subretinal fluid and/or cystic retinal changes
* Clinical evidence of diabetic retinopathy or diabetic macular edema in the study eye
* Confounding ocular conditions in the study eye which will affect interpretation of OCT, VA or assessment of macular appearance (e.g., cataract, epiretinal membrane, retinal vascular occlusive disease)
* Fibrosis or atrophy, retinal epithelial tear in the center of the fovea in the study eye or any condition preventing VA improvement
* Uncontrolled glaucoma in the study eye, or currently receiving topical glaucoma medication in the study eye
