- Choroidal neovascularization due to a cause other than AMD.
- In the study eye, media opacity that interferes with fundus imaging or is likely to require surgery during the study period.
- Any of the following treatments to the study eye within 14 days prior to dosing: ranibizumab (Lucentis), bevacizumab (Avastin), pegaptanib (Macugen), or other VEGF inhibitor; OR likely requirement for one of the above treatments within 14 days of LFG316 administration.
