Conditions

  • Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy
  • Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy (PCV)

Interventions

  • aflibercept 8 mg — DRUG
    The first loading injection will be performed for all participants. After 4 weeks, treatment response will be judged. If the polyp is completely regressed with no disease activity, injection interval will be extended to 8 weeks. The participants with presence of disease activity will continue 4-week loading injections up to 3 monthly loading dose and commence the T\&E phase thereafter. In the T\&E phase, patients have their injection interval extended or shortened by 4 weeks. The injection interval is maintained if the criteria for treatment adjustment were not met and residual fluid was decreased from the previous visit. The minimum and maximum injection intervals are 8 and 24 weeks, respectively.

Study Details

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the aflibercept 8 mg used in a personalized regimen, with flexible loading dose and treatment intervals from 8 to 24 weeks in eyes with treatment-naive PCV.
