NCT ID: NCT03290794

Last Updated: 2023-06-09

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Total Enrollment: 100 participants
• Study Classification: OBSERVATIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2019-02-14
• Study Completion Date: 2023-05-26

Brief Summary

The proposed regulatory post-marketing surveillance (PMS) study will be planned to collect the safety data of aflibercept intravitreal injection in patients with wet Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) in real-life treatment practice

The primary objective is:

• To collect safety data in wet AMD patients treated with intravitreal aflibercept injection

The secondary objective is:

• To determine how disease activity is monitored including type and frequency of ocular tests and frequency of injections

Detailed Description

The study will be multicenter, observational, prospective, single arm, post marketing surveillance study of intravitreal aflibercept injection in wet AMD patients in routine clinical practice and real-life conditions without any protocol mandated interventions.

Approximately 100 wet AMD patients from up to ten ophthalmology clinics across India will be enrolled in this study. Each study site will be requested to enroll approximately 10 patients, however, the sites will be asked to enrolled additional patients in case of failure to enroll 10 patients by other site to complete the recruitment of approximately 100 patients.

Patients will be observed for maximum period of 6 months after the start of intravitreal aflibercept treatment. The observation period should cover the entire period from initial visit to the last follow-up visit at six months or withdrawal of consent, or the patient is lost to follow up (whatever is earliest).

The study site will be asked to enroll into the study all consecutive patients with wet AMD for whom the decision has been made to treat with intravitreal aflibercept injection and patients agrees to sign informed consent form for data collection purpose.

Any switch to another therapy or initiated administration of other anti-VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) injection in fellow eye or the discontinuation of treatment with IVT-AFL before the 6 month implies the end of the observation period. However, the safety follow-up will continue at least 30 days after last intravitreal aflibercept injection or in case of the discontinuation of treatment with IVT-AFL or till the patient switch the treatment from IVT-AFL and received other anti-VEGF injection before the 6 month observation period.
