    Avastin and Lucentis are infact the same drug with Avastin being vastly cheaper and FDA approved for treatment of Colon cancer and Lucentis being the version approved for treatment of wet AMD. Nonethless a lot of opthamlologists have substituted Avastin off label for treating wet AMD to pass on the savings to clients who can't afford Lucentis or Eyelea.

    As to why the second trial with Lucentis is taking longer to recruit, my bet is that most patients would have preferred to be in the Eyelea trial because Eyela is generally accepted to be the more potent treatment. However now the first trial is fully recruited you would expect the Lucentis trial to catch up, hopefully by the end of this month.
