Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - Presence of any significant ocular or non-ocular disease/disorder (or medication and/or laboratory test abnormalities) which, in the opinion of the Investigator and with concurrence of the Medical Monitor, may either put the subject at risk because of participation in the study, may influence the results of the study, or the subject’s ability to participate in the study. - Known hypersensitivity to antisense oligonucleotides or any constituents of the injection.
