a study of single intravitreal injection hb002.1m in subjects with neovascular age-related macular degeneration

Conditions: Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Summary: the objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profile of hb002.1m, a human immunoglobulin fc fusion protein containing domain 2 and flanking sequence of vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) receptor-1 in subjects with age-related macular degeneration (amd).
