Lesion Characteristics: Subfoveal fibrosis or atrophy in study eye, CNV in either eye due to other causes, such as ocular histoplasmosis, trauma, or pathologic myopia.
Concurrent Ocular Conditions: Concurrent eye disease in the study eye that could compromise visual acuity (e.g., diabetic retinopathy, advanced glaucoma), Any concurrent intraocular condition in the study eye (e.g., diabetic retinopathy or glaucoma) that, in the opinion of the investigator, could either, Require medical or surgical intervention during the 12-month study period to prevent or treat visual loss that might result from that condition, or If allowed to progress untreated, could likely contribute to loss of at least 2 Snellen equivalent lines of best corrected visual acuity over the 12-month study period, Active intraocular inflammation (grade trace or above) in the study eye, or history of idiopathic or autoimmune-associated uveitis in either eye
Current vitreous hemorrhage in the study eye
History of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment or macular hole (Stage 3 or 4) in the study eye

Concurrent Systemic Conditions
Pregnancy or premenopausal women not using adequate contraception The following are considered effective means of contraception: surgical sterilization; use of oral contraceptives; barrier contraception with either a condom or diaphragm in conjunction with spermicidal gel; an IUD; or contraceptive hormone implant or patch.
History of other disease, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use an investigational drug or that might affect interpretation of the results of the study or render the subject at high risk for treatment complications
