Overview
Brief Summary
The primary objective is to assess long-term safety and tolerability of Intravitreal Aflibercept Injection (IAI; EYLEA®; BAY86-5321) in patients with neovascular AMD.
Detailed Description
The dose evaluated in this study, Intravitreal Aflibercept Injection (IAI; EYLEA®; BAY86-5321) 2mg, will be the higher of the 2 dose strengths evaluated in parent study VGFT-OD-0605 (NCT00509795) and is the dose level administered in study VGFT-OD-0702 (NCT00527423), a long-term open-label extension study. For these reasons, this dose has been selected for this extension study. Participants will be seen in the clinic for quarterly visits starting with day 1 to assess safety. Study drug will be administered on an as-needed basis at the discretion of the investigator with a minimum allowed interval of every 4 weeks and a maximum allowed interval of every 12 weeks. This study will assess the frequency that re-treatment is needed and the effect of continued Intravitreal Aflibercept Injection (IAI; EYLEA®; BAY86-5321) treatment on BCVA.
Investigators
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Participation in Study VGFT-OD-0605 through week
- •In the opinion of the investigator, the study eye has neovascular AMD and may continue to require treatment.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Presence of any condition that would jeopardize the patient's participation in this study.
- •Females who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or of childbearing potential, unwilling to practice adequate contraception throughout the study.
Arms & Interventions
Open-label Intravitreal Aflibercept Injection
Open-label Intravitreal Aflibercept Injection (IAI; EYLEA®; BAY86-5321) 2mg (40 mg/mL) was administered no more frequently than every 4 weeks, but no less frequently than every 12 weeks until amendment 4. Starting with amendment 4, Intravitreal Aflibercept Injection was administered no less frequently than every 8 weeks. Within these limits, the investigator would determine the interval of Intravitreal Aflibercept Injection administration on an as-needed basis according to the protocol-suggested re-treatment criteria, however the injections must have occurred at least every 12 weeks prior to amendment 4, and at least every 8 weeks starting from amendment 4 as noted above.
Intervention: Intravitreal Aflibercept Injection 2mg
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Safety and Tolerability of Intravitreal Aflibercept Injection in Participants With Neovascular AMD
Time Frame: Baseline (day 1) through end of treatment (Week 180)
The primary endpoint in the study is the safety and tolerability of Intravitreal Aflibercept Injection in patients with neovascular AMD (Age-related Macular Degeneration) from day 1 through the end of treatment visit (week 180) based on the number of participants who experienced any treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE). Treatment-emergent adverse events were categorized according to Ocular TEAEs in the study eye, Ocular TEAEs in the fellow eye, and Non-Ocular TEAEs
Secondary Outcomes
- Change in BCVA Letter Score (mLOCF)(Baseline through Week 116)
