Inventor(s): Wiegand; Stanley J. (Croton on Hudson, NY), Papadopoulos; Nicholas (LaGrangeville, NY), Yancopoulos; George D. (Yorktown Heights, NY)
Assignee: Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Tarrytown, NY)
Application Number:10/988,243
Patent Claims:1. A method of treating retinal neovascularization, comprising administering a fusion polypeptide capable of binding vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) to a patient in need thereof, wherein the fusion polypeptide comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:16.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein neovascularization is induced by ischemia.

3. A method of treating, ameliorating, or inhibiting choroidal neovascularization, comprising administering a fusion polypeptide capable of binding vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGE) to a patient in need thereof, wherein the fusion polypeptide comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:16.

4. A method of treating, ameliorating, or inhibiting vascular leak in the retina, comprising administering a fusion polypeptide capable of binding vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) to a patient in need thereof, wherein the fusion polypeptide comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:16.

5. A method of treating, ameliorating, or inhibiting retinal edema, comprising administering a fusion polypeptide capable of binding vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) to a patient in need thereof, wherein the fusion polypeptide comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:16.
