Brief Summary

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

The researchers in this trial want to learn how the drug aflibercept works in in Japanese patients with increased eye pressure that is caused by new blood vessels growing in the eye (neovascular glaucoma or NVG). They also want to find out how patient tolerate the application of the drug that is injected in the vitreous humor of the eye and if this will cause any medical problems during the trial (vitreous humor, also called vitreous body is the clear gel that fills the space between the lens and the retina of the eyeball).

NVG patients

Japanese patients with neovascular glaucoma

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Aflibercept (EYLEA, BAY86-5321)

Intervention Type DRUG

2 mg (0.05 mL), Intravitreal injection (IVT), single dose.

Topical IOP-lowering drugs

Intervention Type DRUG

A combination of at least 3 topical IOP-lowering drugs will be administered during a run-in phase before treatment and should be kept unchanged until IOP evaluation at Week 1, after which they may be reduced according to the investigator's opinion
