Brief Summary: The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety(first objective) and efficacy(second objective)of an experimental drug product,Stakel®, in the treatment of neovascular Age related Macular Degeneration (AMD). The drug product is activated in patients by exposure to light at a specific wavelength ("Vascular Targeted Photodynamic therapy", "VTP"). The exploratory objective is to assess whether it is possible to delay or reduce the requirement for anti Vascular Endothelium Growth Factor (anti VEGF) intravitreal therapy in the first 12 weeks after VTP. All subjects will have a 52 weeks safety follow up telephone call (Not for Adverse Events (AEs) collection).
Detailed Description: The primary objective of this Phase IIa clinical study is to evaluate the safety of treatment with Stakel®-mediated VTP in subjects with neovascular AMD. The secondary objective of this Phase IIa clinical study is to explore the effect of treatment with Stakel®-mediated VTP in subjects with neovascular AMD. The exploratory objective is to assess whether it is possible to delay or reduce the requirement for anti Vascular Endothelium Growth Factor (anti VEGF) intravitreal therapy in the first 12 weeks after VTP. All subjects will have a 52 weeks safety follow up telephone call. (Not for AEs collection).
