Singapore, May 9, 2008: Global drug delivery company, pSivida has said that enrolment has begun for a clinical trial to assess the safety and efficacy of Medidur FA in conjunction with Lucentis (ranibizumab injection, Genentech) in patients with exudative age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD). 

 

The study is designed to provide preliminary information on the potential of Medidur FA to maintain the efficacy established with Lucentis while reducing the overall number of Lucentis treatments.

The approval of Medidur to treat Wet AMD could dramatically increase the market potential for Medidur FA.
