Brief Summary

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

Although evidence have clearly proved that intravitreal injection of vascular endothelial growth factor antagonists prevents vision loss and may even improve visual acuity in patients with neovascular AMD, a significant percentage of patients continue to lose visual acuity. Moreover, monthly intravitreal injections represent a burden for society as well as the caregiver.

Combination therapy with either topical 0.1% pranoprofen or nutraceutical support with AREDS2 formula plus omega-3 might act synergistically with intravitreal injection, offering valuable therapeutic support to aflibercept injections in patients requiring long-term treatment.
