Brief summary

This study will compare the safety and efficacy of Medidur FA treatment in one eye to the sham-treated fellow eye of subjects with geographic atrophy secondary to AMD.

Detailed description

Each patient received a sham injection in one eye and active treatment in the other eye. The eye receiving active treatment was selected based on a randomization schedule.
