Dose Ranging Study of Carbidopa-levodopa
From 3 large patient databases, patients diagnosed with AMD who have never taken levodopa(L-DOPA) containing medications have a mean age of diagnosis at 71 years. Patients who have been treated with L-DOPA containing medications have a mean age of diagnosis of AMD at 79 years. L-DOPA binds to GPR143 in the retinal pigment epithelium, and releases PEDF, which protects the retina and downregulates VEGF, which is the cause of neovascularization. The Investigators will evaluate the safety and tolerability of carbidopa-levodopa in patients with Neovascular AMD, and measure the effects on visual acuity and retinal abnormalities due to "wet" (neovascular) AMD. The Investigators will evaluate the safety and tolerability of carbidopa-levodopa in patients with Neovascular AMD who are already on treatment with anti-VEGF intraocular injections, and measure the effects on visual acuity, retinal abnormalities due to "wet" AMD, and document the number of anti-VEGF injections required during the study.
