DRUGAvastin

Avastin 1.25 mg, administered by intravitreal injection

DRUGLucentis

Lucentis 0.5 mg, administered by intravitreal injection

DRUGEylea

Eylea 2 mg, administered by intravitreal injection

Inclusion criteria

* Treatment experienced subjects defined as subjects with 1 prior dose of same intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy given within the past 8 weeks for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (NVAMD) in the study eye. There must be \< 0 letters of improvement in Snellen (not ETDRS Snellen equivalent) visual acuity since the start of anti-VEGF treatment. * Presence of subfoveal active choroidal neovascularization (CNV)

Exclusion criteria

* Intravitreal treatment in the study eye prior to the Day 1 visit, regardless of indication, with the exception of the 1 prior anti-VEGF injections. * Presence of other causes of choroidal neovascularization, including pathologic myopia, ocular histoplasmosis syndrome, angioid streaks, choroidal rupture, and multifocal choroiditis. * Non-pharmacologic treatment (intraocular surgery or thermal laser) within three months of trial entry. * Prior thermal laser in the macular region, regardless of indication. * Ocular or periocular infection in the past twelve weeks. * History of any of the following conditions or procedures in the study eye: rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, pars plana vitrectomy, filtering surgery, glaucoma drainage device, or corneal transplant. * Previous therapeutic radiation in the region of the study eye. * Evidence of diabetic retinopathy

Participants by arm

ArmCount
Zimura and Avastin
Participants receive three monthly Avastin treatments (Day 1, Month 1, and Month 2) followed by Zimura administered on the same day. All participants will receive treatment every 3 months for a total of 18 months. If there is a loss of visual acuity during the intervening visits, participants may be retreated with Avastin and Zimura. Zimura: Zimura 2 mg, administered by intravitreal injection Avastin: Avastin 1.25 mg, administered by intravitreal injection

Zimura and Lucentis
Participants receive three monthly Lucentis treatments (Day 1, Month 1, and Month 2) followed by Zimura administered on the same day. All participants will receive treatment every 3 months for a total of 18 months. If there is a loss of visual acuity during the intervening visits, participants may be retreated with Lucentis and Zimura. Zimura: Zimura 2 mg, administered by intravitreal injection Lucentis: Lucentis 0.5 mg, administered by intravitreal injection
