VIEW 1 Study Seeking Participants
A Randomized, Double Masked, Active Controlled Phase III Study of the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Repeated Doses of Intravitreal VEGF Trap in Subjects With Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration
If you have recently been diagnosed with wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), please consider joining the VIEW 1 study.
Doctors are currently looking for adults who have been recently diagnosed with wet AMD to participate in a medical research study. This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an investigational medication to see if it helps slow or stop the progression of wet AMD-related vision loss.
Qualified participants will receive study related medical evaluations and study medication at no cost.

Key Inclusion Criteria:
- Signed Informed Consent.
- Men and women 50 years of age and older.
- Active primary subfoveal CNV lesions secondary to AMD, including juxtafoveal lesions that affect the fovea as evidenced by FA in the study eye.
- CNV must be at least 50% of total lesion size.
- ETDRS best-corrected visual acuity of: 20/40 to 20/320 (letter score of 73 to 25) in the study eye.
- Willing, committed, and able to return for ALL clinic visits and complete all study-related procedures.
- Able to read, (or, if unable to read due to visual impairment, be read to verbatim by the person administering the informed consent or a family member. See Appendix J.4) understand and willing to sign the informed consent form.
Key Exclusion Criteria:
- Any prior ocular (in the study eye) or systemic treatment or surgery for neovascular AMD except dietary supplements or vitamins.
- Any prior or concomitant therapy with another investigational agent to treat neovascular AMD in the study eye, except dietary supplements or vitamins.
- Prior treatment with anti-VEGF agents as follows:
- Prior treatment with anti-VEGF therapy in the study eye is not allowed.
- Prior treatment with anti-VEGF therapy in the fellow eye with an investigational agent (not FDA approved, e.g. bevacizumab) is allowed up to 3 months prior to first dose in the study, and such treatment will not be allowed during the study. Prior treatment with an FDA/Health Canada approved anti-VEGF therapy in the fellow eye is allowed.
- Prior systemic anti-VEGF therapy, investigational or FDA/Health Canada approved, is only allowed up to 3 months prior to first dose, and will not be allowed during the study
- Total lesion size > 12 disc areas (30.5 mm2, including blood, scars and neovascularization) as assessed by FA in the study eye.
- Subretinal hemorrhage that is either 50% or more of the total lesion area, or if the blood is under the fovea and is 1 or more disc areas in size in the study eye. (If the blood is under the fovea, then the fovea must be surrounded 270 degrees by visible CNV.)
- Scar or fibrosis, making up > 50% of total lesion in the study eye.
- Scar, fibrosis, or atrophy involving the center of the fovea.
- Presence of retinal pigment epithelial tears or rips involving the macula in the study eye.
- History of any vitreous hemorrhage within 4 weeks prior to Visit 1 in the study eye.
- Presence of other causes of CNV, including pathologic myopia (spherical equivalent of -8 diopters or more negative, or axial length of 25 mm or more), ocular histoplasmosis syndrome, angioid streaks, choroidal rupture, or multifocal choroiditis in the study eye.
- History or clinical evidence of diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema or any other vascular disease affecting the retina, other than AMD, in either eye.
- Prior vitrectomy in the study eye.
- History of retinal detachment or treatment or surgery for retinal detachment in the study eye.
- Any history of macular hole of stage 2 and above in the study eye.
- Any intraocular or periocular surgery within 3 months of Day 1 on the study eye, except lid surgery, which may not have taken place within 1 month of day 1, as long as its unlikely to interfere with the injection.
