Primary outcomePrimary: Change From Baseline in Central Retinal Thickness as Measured by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) at Week 4 — 360.9; -62.0 Microns

Summary

The study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the intravitreal dexamethasone implant as adjunctive therapy to Anti-VEGF treatment in the study eye of treatment naïve subjects with choroidal neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration. Subjects will be followed for 26 weeks.
