Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Wet (or neovascular) form of age-related macular degeneration (wAMD) is the most common cause of blindness in the Western world. Currently, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) intravitreal injections (IVI) remain the standard-of-care treatment for wAMD. Previous studies show that about 90% of treated patients lose minimal visual function after 2 years of follow-up. There is still, a subset of 15% patients, incomplete responders, that do not improve and possibly worsen due to the persistence of sub-retinal fluid (with or without intra-retinal fluid) with chronic treatment.
The investigators plan to evaluate the effect of oral doxycycline versus placebo on the anatomic and functional outcomes in persistent sub-retinal eye fluid in neovascular wet age-related macular degeneration. This subset are incomplete or non-responders to current anti-VEGF intravitreal therapy.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The investigators plan to conduct a double masked, randomized study to assess the effect of low dose, oral doxycycline 50 mg once a day versus placebo in patients with wet age-related macular degeneration who are incomplete responders to anti-VEGF extended treatment regimens.
The study will be conducted over 9 months with every 3 month assessments; 6 months administration period of doxycycline versus placebo (double masked, randomized) and a 3 month follow up period. The participant visits will occur during clinic visits for standard-of-care intravitreal injections (IVI).
Medical information will be acquired from the standard of care optical coherence tomography (OCT), visual acuity (VA), and IVI administered (number, frequency and type of drug).
Blood plasma and aqueous fluid (anterior chamber tap) samples and study drug tolerability will be obtained at baseline, 6 months and 9 months. Plasma will be obtained to assay for inflammatory markers: MMP-9 levels and questionnaires will be obtained on 1) vision quality of life, and 2) study drug tolerance at Baseline, 6 months and 9 months.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Wet age-related macular degeneration (wAMD);
* Solely treated with anti-VEGF IVI for active CNV due to wAMD. However, enrolled patients can have other retinal pathologies such as diabetic retinopathy or vein occlusion for which they are not being treated with anti-VEGF IVI;
* Must have persistent sub-retinal with or without intra-retinal fluid due to active CNV from wAMD despite receiving at least three consecutive injections with any anti-VEGF agent;
* Must not have encountered previous side effects from tetracycline medications.
* Solely treated with anti-VEGF IVI for active CNV due to wAMD. However, enrolled patients can have other retinal pathologies such as diabetic retinopathy or vein occlusion for which they are not being treated with anti-VEGF IVI;
* Must have persistent sub-retinal with or without intra-retinal fluid due to active CNV from wAMD despite receiving at least three consecutive injections with any anti-VEGF agent;
* Must not have encountered previous side effects from tetracycline medications.
Exclusion Criteria
* History of uveitis (including endophthalmitis) or presence of intraocular inflammation;
* Presence of significant epiretinal membrane or macular hole causing distortion of macular anatomy;
* Presence of media opacity preventing discerning of fluid on OCT;
* Any prior ophthalmic surgery (including YAG or retinal laser) within the previous 3 months or anticipated need for any ophthalmic surgery (including cataract extraction) for 9 months following randomization;
* History of peribulbar corticosteroid injection to the studied eye or the fellow eye within the past 6 months;
* History of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide injection to the studied eye within the past 4 months;
* An ocular condition (other than AMD) is present in the studied eye that, in the opinion of the investigator, might alter visual acuity during the course of the study (e.g., retinal vein occlusion, uveitis or other ocular inflammatory disease, neovascular glaucoma, and Irvine-Gass syndrome);
* CNV due to causes other than wAMD;
* Inability to follow up at the 6th and 9th months time points after recruitment;
* Missing two or more consecutive injections during the six months treatment period;
* Patient requiring imminent need for IVI anti-VEGF medication switch or another treatment intervention, such as photodynamic therapy, during the 9 months trial period;

* Any patient with sub-retinal and/or intra-retinal fluid that is not due to CNV (eg, overlying areas of geographic atrophy;
* Any patient actively being actively treated for Irvine-Gass Syndrome.
* Patient with and/or who developed an unstable medical status (e.g., glycemic control, blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, individuals who are unlikely or unable to complete the 9 months trial period) in the opinion of the investigator;
