A Phase 1, Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetic Profile of Intravitreous Injections of E10030 (Anti-PDGF Pegylated Aptamer) in Subjects With Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration

A Phase 1, Single Ascending Dose Trial to Establish the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetic Profile of Intravitreous Injections of E10030 (Anti-PDGF Pegylated Aptamer) Monotherapy and of E10030 Given in Combination With Lucentis®0.5 Mg/Eye in Subjects With Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration

The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profile of E10030 intravitreous injection when administered as monotherapy or in combination with Lucentis® 0.5 mg/eye in subjects with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

  • History or evidence of clinically significant peripheral vascular disease, such as intermittent claudication or prior amputation.
  • Clinically significant impaired renal (serum creatinine >2.5 mg/dl or s/p renal transplant or receiving dialysis) or hepatic function.
