This open-label, randomized, Phase II research study will look to see whether an investigational treatment combining bromfenac ophthalmic drops with ranibizumab intravitreal injection is safe and effective for treating wet AMD as compared to ranibizumab alone.
Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in adults over the age of 50 years. It can cause permanent loss of eyesight due to deterioration of the macula.
Ranibizumab monotherapy is currently the standard of care in neovascular AMD patients. Inflammation is believed to play an important role in AMD. Currently, MD's are investigating modulating the inflammation component of AMD with intra-ocular steroids although there is a high rate of steroid associated adverse events, such as glaucoma, cataracts and endophthalmitis.
Bromfenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDS) and is currently approved for the treatment of inflammation following cataract surgery. In combination with intravitreal ranibizumab, bromfenac may also provide anti-inflammatory effects and may be a safer alternative to steroids.
