VEGF-trap is a drug currently being investigated for the treatment of "wet" macular degeneration. As with Lucentis...it needs to be injected into the vitreous cavity...at a frequency yet to be determined...but in the four to six week range...also much like Lucentis. Much future study is still required to determine the efficacy and safety of this drug. Approval...if it is to occur at all...will not be for several years.
