简要总结

This clinical trial investigates the impact of intravitreal injection of Ranibizumab antibody on the acuteness of vision. Patients included are suffering from choroidal neo-vascularization (CNV) as a consequence of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Initially, all patients get injections of 0.5 mg Ranibizumab in monthly intervals for 3 months. Subsequently, one group gets Ranibizumab in intervals of 2 months, whereas a second group is treated on demand.

The primary end point of the study is the change of best-corrected visual acuity after 12 month.

Secondary end points include the impact of Ranibizumab on morphological changes of the retina, the number of patients with gain or loss of 15 or more letters visual acuity after 12 months, changes in quality of life and the number of injections required during the first 12 months of treatment.
