About this trial
This study will assess corneal endothelial cells in participants with nAMD treated with PDS refilled every 24 weeks (Q24W).
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Diagnosis of nAMD prior to screening as determined by the investigator
Difference of <10% in ECD at screening between the 2 eyes as measured by specular microscopy and determined by the independent reading center
Availability of historical visual acuity (VA) data and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Additionally, fluorescein angiography or color fundus photography can both be used to support participant eligibility per protocol at investigator discretion
Availability of comprehensive historical anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injection data, including agent administered and date of administration from the time of diagnosis, or for at least 2 years prior to screening if diagnosis was made more than 2 years before screening
Disqualifiers
Prior treatment with external-beam radiation therapy or transpupillary thermotherapy
Previous treatment with verteporfin injection (PDT) or corticosteroid IVT injection within 2 years of screening
Previous laser (except PDT as stated above) used for age related macular degeneration (AMD) treatment
History of corneal transplant
Trial design
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
PDS Implant With Ranibizumab 100 mg/ml
DeviceRanibizumab 100 mg/mL will be delivered via PDS
LUCENTIS (Ranibizumab Injection)
DrugRanibizumab (0.5 mg intravitreal \[IVT\] injections of 10 mg/mL formulation) will be used in the study eye as supplemental treatment. If a participant discontinues study treatment, he/she may start receiving IVT ranibizumab injections in the study eye, per investigator's discretion.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Percent Change in Corneal Endothelial Cell Density (ECD) From Baseline at Week 48 in the Study Eye as Compared With the Fellow Eye, as Assessed by Specular Microscopy
Secondary outcomes

Percent Change in the Coefficient of Variation (CV) of Corneal Endothelial Cell Area From Baseline at Weeks 24 and 48 in the Study Eye as Compared With the Fellow Eye
Percent Change in Hexagonal Cells (HEX) From Baseline at Weeks 24 and 48 in the Study Eye as Compared With the Fellow Eye
Percentage of Participants With Ocular Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Severity of SAEs
