NCT01226628

Brief Summary

The main purpose of this study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of CNTO 2476 administered subretinally (beneath the retina) using the iTrack Model 275 micro catheter in patients with visual acuity (acuteness or clearness of vision) impairment associated with the geographic atrophy (GA: partial or complete wasting away of retinal layer below the retina) manifestation of age-related macular degeneration (AMD: medical condition which usually affects older adults and results in a loss of vision in the center of the visual field \[the macula\] because of damage to the retina).

CNTO 2476BIOLOGICAL
Also known as: Palucorcel
Cohort ACohort BCohort CCohort DCohort ECohort FCohort GPhase 2a

CNTO 2476 will be administered subretinally using the iTRACK microcatheter in participants with visual acuity impairment. During surgery, the portion of microcatheter distal to the flexible blue hub is inserted into the subretinal space via a peripheral scleral cutdown and choroidal fistula.
