Eligibility

Sex/Gender
All

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: -Voluntary written informed consent to participate in the study -Active subfoveal MNV (any subtype) or juxtafoveal MNV secondary to AMD with leakage affecting the fovea in the study eye at screening -BCVA ETDRS letter score of 78 letters to 35 letters in the study eye as measured by the ETDRS visual acuity chart at screening -CST <= 450 micromg at screening

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: -Subretinal hemorrhage, fibrosis, or atrophy of > 50% of the total lesion area and/or that involves the fovea in the study eye -Uncontrolled glaucoma in the study eye -Aphakia or pseudophakia with AC-IOL in the study eye -Active intraocular inflammation in the study eye -Any current ocular condition for which visual acuity loss would not improve from resolution of macular edema in the study eye -History of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in the study eye -Any current or history of ocular disease other than nAMD in the study eye that may confound assessment of the macula or affect central vision -History of the following therapies in the study eye: - History of vitrectomy surgery, submacular surgery, or other surgical intervention for AMD - Prior treatment PDT with Visudyne, external-beam radiation therapy, transpupillary thermotherapy, or panretinal photocoagulation -Previous use of periocular or intraocular (sub-Tenon or IVT) corticosteroids within 12 weeks prior to Day 1. -Previous intraocular device implantation except PC-IOL -Previous laser (any type) to the macular area -Previous treatment with IVT anti-VEGF drugs other than ranibizumab, bevacizumab, aflibercept 2mg, and their biosimilars -Treatment with ranibizumab, bevacizumab, aflibercept 2 mg, or their biosimilars within 12 weeks prior to Day 1. Previously treated patients who received these medications more than 12 weeks prior to Day 1 can be enrolled, but the patients should be diagnosed with nAMD within 3 years prior to Day 1. -Any current or history of endophthalmitis in either eye -History of idiopathic or autoimmune-associated uveitis in either eye -Active infectious conjunctivitis, keratitis, scleritis, or endophthalmitis in either eye
