Interventions

  • aflibercept 8 mg — DRUG
    Exposure of interest corresponding to a switch to intravitreal aflibercept 8 mg administered according to routine clinical practice for the treatment of exudative age-related macular degeneration.

Study Details

Age-related macular degeneration is a leading cause of visual impairment in older adults. In its exudative form, repeated intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF agents are required to control disease activity. A new formulation of aflibercept at a higher dose (8 mg) has been developed with the aim of extending the interval between injections. This multicenter retrospective real-world observational study will evaluate the effect of switching to aflibercept 8 mg in patients with refractory or dependent exudative age-related macular degeneration. Clinical data collected during routine care will be analyzed to compare injection intervals, treatment burden, visual outcomes, anatomical outcomes, and safety before and after the switch.
