Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main objectives of this observational study were to describe outcomes, monitoring and treatment patterns of patients with diabetic macular edema in routine clinical practice who are either treatment naïve patients or previously treated patients. The total study population was evaluated as well as the two subgroups (previously treated patients and treatment naïve patients).

This study was designated to answer French Health Authority (HAS Haute Autorité de Santé) requirements.

Study Groups

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

Previously treated patient

Already treated with any other treatment such as an anti-VEGF agent (other than IVT aflibercept), macular laser photocoagulation (laser), intravitreal steroid injection or implant (steroids) and initiating treatment with IVT aflibercept

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

Intervention Type DRUG

Eylea 40 mg/mL - recommended dose of 2 mg - intravitreal injection monthly for five consecutive months, which constitutes the loading dose. The loading dose is followed by one injection every two months. After 12 months of treatment, the interval between two injections can be prolonged or adapted according to visual and anatomical results.

Naïve patient

Not previously treated with an anti-VEGF agent, macular laser photocoagulation (laser) or intravitreal steroid injection or implant (steroids) and initiating treatment with IVT aflibercept

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

Intervention Type DRUG

Eylea 40 mg/mL - recommended dose of 2 mg - intravitreal injection monthly for five consecutive months, which constitutes the loading dose. The loading dose is followed by one injection every two months. After 12 months of treatment, the interval between two injections can be prolonged or adapted according to visual and anatomical results.

Entire study population

Already treated patient with any other treatment such as an anti-VEGF agent (other than intravitreal aflibercept), macular laser photocoagulation, intravitreal steroid injection and initiating treatment with intravitreal aflibercept and not previously treated patients with an anti-VEGF agent, macular laser photocoagulation or intravitreal steroids injection and initiating treatment with intravitreal aflibercept

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

Intervention Type DRUG

Eylea 40 mg/mL - recommended dose of 2 mg - intravitreal injection monthly for five consecutive months, which constitutes the loading dose. The loading dose is followed by one injection every two months. After 12 months of treatment, the interval between two injections can be prolonged or adapted according to visual and anatomical results.
