Safety and Efficacy Study of Intravitreal Ocriplasmin in Subjects With AMD With Focal Vitreomacular Adhesion
United States100 participantsStarted 2010-01
Plain-language summary
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Ocriplasmin intravitreal injection, in subjects diagnosed with exudative AMD with focal vitreomacular adhesion. Ultimately, it is believed that intravitreal ocriplasmin may offer physicians a safe agent for pharmacologic vitreolysis and nonsurgical resolution of focal vitreomacular adhesion in AMD subjects where this adhesion may be causally associated with worse prognosis).

Inclusion criteria
✓. Male or female subjects aged \> 50

✓. Diagnosis of active primary or recurrent subfoveal CNV secondary to AMD, including those with predominantly classic, minimally classic or occult lesions with no classic component.
✓. The total area of Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV) (including both classic and occult components) encompassed within the lesion must be \> 50% of the total lesion area
✓. The total lesion area must be \< 12 disc areas
✓. Subjects who have previously received at least three antiangiogenic injections(Lucentis® or Avastin®) in the study eye.
✓. Subjects with visual acuity of 20/32 to 20/200 in the study eye
✓. Written informed consent obtained from the subject prior to inclusion in the study
Exclusion criteria
✕. Evidence of complete macular Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD) in the study eye on biomicroscopy, B-scan ultrasound or OCT prior to planned study drug injection
✕. Subjects with vitreous haemorrhage which precludes either of the following: visualization of the posterior pole by visual inspection or adequate assessment of the macula by either OCT and/or fluorescein angiography in the study eye or other opacities precluding visualisation of the fundus.
