- Other protocol-specified inclusion criteria may apply
Exclusion Criteria:
- CNV secondary to other causes in the Study Eye.
- Any history of macular pathology unrelated to AMD but affecting vision or contributing to subretinal or intraretinal fluid.

- Active ocular or periocular infection or inflammation.
- Prior administration of any approved or investigational treatment for neovascular AMD in the Study Eye.
- Uncontrolled glaucoma in the Study Eye.
- Women who are pregnant or lactating or intending to become pregnant during the study.
- Stroke or myocardial infarction in the 6-month period prior to Day 1.
- Uncontrolled blood pressure defined as a systolic value > 180 mmHg or diastolic value ≥100 mmHg while at rest.

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Experimental
Active Comparator
KSI-301 5 mg
Aflibercept 2 mg
Drug: KSI-301 5 mg. KSI-301 5 mg will be administered by intravitreal injection into the study eye at 12, 16, and 20 weeks intervals as specified in the study protocol. Drug: Sham Procedure. The sham is a procedure that mimics an intravitreal injection. It involves pressing the blunt end of an empty syringe (without a needle) against the anesthetized eye. It will be administered to participants in both treatments arms at applicable visits to maintain masking.
Drug: Aflibercept 2 mg. Aflibercept 2 mg will be administered by intravitreal injection into the study eye once every 4 weeks for 3 consecutive months, followed by once every 8 weeks. Drug: Sham Procedure. The sham is a procedure that mimics an intravitreal injection. It involves pressing the blunt end of an empty syringe (without a needle) against the anesthetized eye. It will be administered to participants in both treatments arms at applicable visits to maintain masking.
