Inclusion Criteria

Subjects must meet the following criteria to be eligible to participate in this study.

8.2.1Ophthalmic Inclusion Criteria
The following inclusion criteria apply to the study eye:
8.2.1.1Subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) due to AMD with some classic component (i.e., predominantly classic or minimally classic) as documented by fluorescein angiogram.
8.2.1.2Best corrected visual acuity in the study eye between 20/63 and 20/200, inclusive. The VA must be re-confirmed at Day 0 prior to randomization.
8.2.1.3Total area of the lesion (including blood, neovascularization, and scar/atrophy) must be = 5 disc areas (DA), of which at least 50% must be active CNV. Active CNV is defined as the neovascular component of the lesion as defined by the fluorescein angiogram.
8.2.1.4Presence on OCT of subretinal, intraretinal or sub-RPE fluid and/or subretinal thickening consistent with active CNV.
8.2.1.5Clear ocular media and adequate pupillary dilatation to allow collection of fundus photographs and fluorescein angiograms of a sufficient quality to be analyzed by the central reading center.
8.2.1.6Intraocular pressure (IOP) of 21 mmHg or less.

8.2.2General Inclusion Criteria
8.2.2.1Subjects of either gender, aged ? 50 years.
8.2.2.2Performance Status ? 2 according to Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) / World Health Organization (WHO) scale (Appendix 17.4)
8.2.2.3Women must agree to be using two forms of effective contraception, be post-menopausal for at least 12 months prior to trial entry, or surgically sterile; if of child-bearing potential, a serum pregnancy test must be performed within 14 days prior to the first injection with a negative result. The two forms of effective contraception must be implemented during the trial and for at least 60 days following the last dose of test medication.
8.2.2.4Adequate hematological function: hemoglobin ? 10g/dL; platelet count ? 130 x 109/L; WBC ? 3.8 x 109/L. Subjects with results outside these ranges may be enrolled in consultation with Ophthotech.
8.2.2.5Adequate renal function: serum creatinine ? 2.5 mg/dl (= 221µmol/L) and BUN within 2 x the upper limit of normal (ULN). Subjects with results outside these ranges may be enrolled in consultation with Ophthotech.
8.2.2.6Adequate liver function: serum bilirubin ? 1.5 mg/dl (= 25.6 µmol/L), GGT, SGOT/ALT, SGPT/AST, and alkaline phosphatase within 2 x ULN. Subjects with results outside these ranges may be enrolled in consultation with Ophthotech.
8.2.2.7Provide written informed consent.
8.2.2.8Ability to comply with study and follow-up procedures and return for all trial visits.

Exclusion Criteria

Subjects will not be eligible for the trial if any of the following criteria are present in the study eye or systemically:
8.3.1Ophthalmic Exclusion Criteria
8.3.1.1Any prior treatment for AMD in the study eye prior to the baseline visit, except oral supplements of vitamins and minerals.
8.3.1.2Any prior intravitreal treatment in the study eye prior to the baseline visit, regardless of indication (including intravitreal corticosteroids).
8.3.1.3More than 25% of the total lesion size made up of scarring or atrophy. Subjects with subfoveal scar or subfoveal atrophy are excluded.
8.3.1.4More than 50% of the total lesion size consisting of subretinal hemorrhage.
8.3.1.5Presence of retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP).
8.3.1.6Presence of significant serous pigment epithelial detachments (PEDs), such as large PEDs that constitute greater than 50% of the total lesion.
8.3.1.7Presence of pigment epithelial tears or rips.
8.3.1.8Presence of intraocular inflammation (= trace cell or flare), significant epiretinal membrane or vitreomacular traction, macular hole or vitreous hemorrhage.
8.3.1.9Aphakia or absence of the posterior capsule. Absence of an intact posterior capsule is allowed if it occurred as a result of YAG laser posterior capsulotomy in association with prior posterior chamber IOL implantation.
8.3.1.10History of idiopathic or autoimmune-associated uveitis in either eye.
8.3.1.11Significant media opacities, including cataract, which might interfere with visual acuity, assessment of toxicity, or fundus photography in the study eye. Subjects should not be entered if there is likelihood that they will require cataract surgery in the study eye in the next 12 months.
