简要总结
Patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration who do not respond to usual treatment with conventional medications may respond to a new drug of the same class which is designed to block a larger fraction of proangiogenic factors.

研究组 & 干预措施
0.5mg AFLIBERCEPT injection
Patients will receive intravitreal injection of aflibercept 0.5mg at baseline, week 4,8,16,24 and 32. Optionally, if intra or subretinal fluid persists at week 12, patients will receive an additional injection.
干预措施: 0.5mg aflibercept (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Percentage of patients with no fluid on Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) after loading dose of aflibercept
时间窗: Week 12
At week 12 an OCT will be performed to evaluate the changes in intra or subretinal fluid and to determine the percentage of patients with no fluid after 3 doses of aflibercept injected on baseline visit, week 4 and week 8.
次要结局
- Changes in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA)after loading dose(week 12)
- Anatomic and Visual Acuity outcomes maintained during (every 8 weeks) treatment.(week 40)
- Changes in OCT central foveal thickness after loading dose(week 12)
- Determine the time to resolution of any intra/sub retinal fluid on OCT(week 4,8,12,24,32,40)
- Describe safety of this cohort of patients(baseline, week 4, 8, 12, 24, 32 and 40)
