Brief Summary

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

This study was a retrospective cohort study of patients to assess the early insights into real-world safety among wet AMD patients initiating brolucizumab. Evidence was generated to describe their patient characteristics and clinical outcomes. The study was conducted using the Komodo Healthcare Map.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Komodo Healthcare Map claims data from 08-Oct-2016 to the date of most recent data from patients with wet AMD who initiated brolucizumab were analyzed in this study.

* Identification period of the index date (index period): The patients fulfilling the selection criteria were identified during the period from 08-Oct-2019 to 30-Apr-2020.
* Index date: Defined as the date of the earliest brolucizumab injection during the index period.
* Study Period: The period from 08-Oct-2016 to the most recent data extraction date (05-Jun-2020).

o Note since 05-Jun-2020 was the date data was pulled, claims data from recent months (e.g. May) may be incomplete (relative to the final DB state) as well.
* Pre-index period: The period 36 months prior to the index date

o Note: Data within 36 months prior to the index date will be used to assess baseline characteristics.
* Post-index period: The period of 180 days after the index date

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria

3. ≥1 International Classification of Diseases, Clinical Modification-9/10 (ICD-9/10) code for wet AMD in the 36 months prior to or on the index date

* Note: Off-label use of brolucizumab is not expected given payer access restrictions in the US
4. ≥24 months of continuous enrollment prior to the index date
5. ≥1 follow-up visit related to their wet AMD after the index date

Exclusion Criteria

1. Use of brolucizumab prior to 08-Oct-2019 (e.g. clinical trials)
2. Unknown laterality of the index eye on the index date
3. Patients with no data throughout the 12 months immediately prior to the index date
