Brief Summary

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

A retrospective, observational, single-arm, non-randomized cohort study of ocular treatment in nAMD patients in Japan who had records of at least 12 months of follow-up after their first brolucizumab intravitreal injection. Patients who had records of at least 12 months of visits after the first brolucizumab injection (index date) were identified during the index period and were recruited during the data collection/recruitment period.

Study Groups

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

Naive Group

Japanese patients diagnosed with nAMD who did not receive any anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections during the 12 months before receiving brolucizumab.

No interventions assigned to this group

Pre-treated Group

Japanese patients diagnosed with nAMD who received at least one injection of another anti-VEGF treatment during the 12 months before receiving brolucizumab.

No interventions assigned to this group

Eligibility Criteria
