Más betegség

• Presence or history of choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Criterion will be confirmed at Baseline
• History of laser therapy in the macular region, regardless of indication
• History of herpes zoster
• Ophthalmic disease or condition that requires or is likely to require surgery during the study period
• Any ocular disease or condition other than non-neovascular AMD that may, in the opinion of the Investigator, interfere with study assessments, patient adherence to the study schedule, or interpretation of study data (e.g., epiretinal membrane, macular hole, glaucomatous optic neuropathy, etc.)
• History of uveitis
• GA secondary to any condition other than non-neovascular AMD
• History of therapeutic radiation to the cranium
• Known allergy or hypersensitivity to the investigational medicinal product (IMP) or any of its excipients
• History of malignant disease
• Any medical condition (including mental), in the opinion of the Investigator, that could interfere with study assessments, patient adherence to the study schedule, or interpretation of study data

Laborértékek

• Screening laboratory values, in the opinion of the Investigator, that make the patient unsuitable for study participation
