Brief Summary:

This study evaluates the tolerability and safety of 3 months treatment with PTK787 tablets given daily. It also explores the efficacy of the compound in patients with wet age-related macular edema.

In Cohort 1 verteporfin/PDT is the active control. The protocol was amended to reflect the current standard of care for AMD. As a result, ranibizumab is the active control for Cohort 2.
