The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravitreal administration of Fovista® administered in combination with Lucentis® compared to Lucentis® monotherapy in subjects with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the following dose groups: * Fovista® 1.5 mg/eye + Lucentis® 0.5 mg/eye * Fovista® sham + Lucentis® 0.5 mg/eye Subjects will be treated for a total of 24 months with active Fovista® or sham in combination with Lucentis® with the primary endpoint at 12 months. Primary Efficacy Endpoint: The primary efficacy endpoint is the mean change in visual acuity (ETDRS letters) from baseline at the month 12 visit. Safety Endpoints: Safety endpoints include adverse events, vital signs, ophthalmic variables \[ophthalmic examination, intraocular pressure (IOP), fluorescein angiogram (FA), optical coherence tomography (OCT)\], ECG, and laboratory variables. Approximately 622 subjects will be randomized into one of the two treatment cohorts (311 patients per dose group).
