The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profile of HB002.1M, a human immunoglobulin Fc fusion protein containing domain 2 and flanking sequence of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor-1 in subjects with age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

  • BCVA ranging from 73-19 letters (20/32-20/400 Snellen equivalent), inclusive
  • Clear ocular media and adequate pupil dilation to permit good quality photographic imaging

• Fellow eye must have had BCVA of 19 letters ( 20/400 Snellen equivalent) or better

Exclusion Criteria:

Any ophthalmic condition as below:
