i) effect of BI 144807 on neovascular leakage as assessed by fluorescein angiography
ii) presence of intraretinal fluid, subretinal fluid, and pigmented epithelial detachment

i) Pharmakokinetic substudy (31.01.2014 Version 1): Concentrations of BI 144807 in the ocular aqueous humour and in plasma will be determined to allow for exploratory pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic correlations to efficacy parameters.
ii) Pharmakogenetic substudy (31.01.2014 Version 1): DNA banking for exploratory genotyping to analyze disease or treatment-related gene variants |
