ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To compare the relative contribution of VEGF and TNF-alpha in the development of laser-induced choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in monkeys and to exploit the feasibility of topical use of suitable antibody fragments for the prevention of experimental CNV.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of systemic and intravitreous administration of VEGF Trap (aflibercept) in a nonhuman primate model of choroidal neovascularization (CNV).
