Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are preterm infants diagnosed with ROP who are receiving treatment with Aflibercept in participating neonatal units.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who do not have ROP or those who were not treated with Aflibercept will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to gather data on preterm infants diagnosed with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) who are treated with Aflibercept (Eylea) using a pediatric dosing device. The study will collect information from neonatal units across the UK that participate in the National Neonatal Research Database (NNRD). By focusing on infants born during a specific period and receiving care in participating units, the study seeks to understand the application and outcomes of this treatment in a vulnerable population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of Aflibercept's effectiveness and safety in treating ROP in preterm infants, potentially improving patient outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: While this study focuses on a specific treatment and population, similar observational studies have shown success in understanding treatment outcomes in preterm infants with ROP.
