NCT00593450

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the relative efficacy and safety of treatment of neovascular AMD with Lucentis on a fixed schedule, Avastin on a fixed schedule, Lucentis on a variable schedule, and Avastin on a variable schedule. A five year follow-up visit is being conducted in 2014 to gather information on long term outcomes.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change From Baseline in Visual-acuity Score (Continuous)

    Visual acuity testing was performed with the Electronic Visual Tester (EVA) following the ETDRS protocol. VA score is measured as number of letters read correctly. The VA score change is the difference of the VA score at 1 Year and the VA score at baseline. In this study, the outcome VA score change is ranged from -71 to 52, with the higher VA score change the better visual acuity improvement.

    Baseline and 1 Year

Secondary Outcomes (15)

  • Change From Baseline Visual-acuity Score (Frequency)
