Brief Summary

Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), also called wet AMD, can cause serious vision loss. While anti-VEGF (anti Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) treatments such as ranibizumab help many patients, about 20 40% have a suboptimal response. In this study, the investigators want to identify other factors (beyond VEGF) that might be driving the disease in these non-responding patients. By looking at samples from inside the eye (vitreous humor) and comparing "good responders" to "suboptimal responders", the investigators hope to find potential new treatment approaches or biomarkers for nAMD.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients aged ≥ 50 years old at the time of informed consent 2. Willing and able to provide informed consent 3. Willingness and ability to comply with all scheduled visits and study procedures 4. Female subjects must be of non-childbearing potential or show a negative pregnancy test at screening and must agree to use appropriate methods of contraception during the study and for one month after the last dose. 5.
