Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 50 and older with neovascular AMD who are starting aflibercept 8 mg as part of routine care and can consent to data collection.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with contraindications to aflibercept, recent anti-VEGF treatments in the fellow eye, or other protocol exclusions may not benefit from the intervention.

What this trial studies
This observational study collects real-world data on the effectiveness and safety of intravitreal aflibercept 8 mg in adults with neovascular AMD. Participants receive the drug as part of routine care and are followed over time to assess changes in visual acuity and central retinal thickness, along with any adverse events. Assessments occur at multiple time points up to 12 months to capture short- and long-term outcomes. Data are gathered from treatment-naive and previously treated patients to understand treatment patterns in routine practice.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the study could clarify real-world effectiveness and safety of aflibercept 8 mg for nAMD and inform clinical practice.
How similar studies have gone: Real-world studies of aflibercept in nAMD have shown meaningful information on effectiveness and safety, though the 8 mg regimen is less commonly reported.
