Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

2 Weeks adjustment

Participants received Aflibercept IVT injection at Week 0, Week 4, Week 8 and Week 16 followed by the variable treatment intervals with the criteria of Treat and Extend regimen. In the case the study eye of a participant met the criteria, the length of treatment interval was to be extended or shortened by 2 weeks from the last interval, respectively. Minimum/Maximum treatment interval is 8 weeks and 16 weeks during Week 16 to 96.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Aflibercept (Eylea, VEGF Trap-Eye, BAY86-5321)

Intervention Type DRUG

Aflibercept 2mg is intravitreally injected.

4 Weeks adjustment

Participants received Aflibercept IVT injection at Week 0, Week 4, Week 8 and Week 16 followed by the variable treatment intervals. In the case the study eye of a participant met the criteria of the shortening, the length of the treatment interval was to be shortened by 2 weeks. But when the last treatment interval for a participant was extended by 4 weeks from the second last interval, the treatment interval was shortened by 4 weeks. In the case the study eye of a participant met the criteria of the extension, the length of the treatment interval was to be extended by 4 weeks. But when a participant had a history of receiving treatment with interval shortened by 4 weeks during this study, the length of the extension was 2 weeks. Minimum/Maximum treatment interval is 8 weeks and 16 weeks during Week 16 to 96.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Japanese men and women ≥ 50 years of age
* Active primary subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) lesions secondary to wAMD, including juxta-foveal lesions that affect the fovea as evidenced by fluorescein angiography (FA) in the study eye
* Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 73 to 25 letters (approximately 20/40 to 20/320 at Snellen equivalent) in the study eye

Exclusion Criteria

* Prior treatment of the study eye with intraocular anti-VEGF(Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) agents, verteporfin photodynamic therapy (PDT), other laser, intraocular corticosteroids, surgical interventions (except cataract surgery more than 30 days prior to screening) or systemic use of anti-VEGF products within 3 months prior to study entry
* Active or suspected infection in or surrounding of the study eye
* Active severe intraocular inflammation in the study eye
* Intraocular pressure (IOP) ≥ 25 mmHg in the study eye
* Ocular condition in the study eye which may impact vision and confound study outcomes
