Brief Summary

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of severe vision loss in people affecting 10%-13% of individuals over the age of 65 in North America, Europe, and Australia . Genetic, environmental, and health factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of the disease.

The purpose of this study is to generate additional safety and effectiveness data in a larger nAMD patient population in India that more closely resembles the real-world population intended to be treated with brolucizumab.

A real-world, prospective, multi-center, open-label, phase IV clinical study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of intravitreal injections (IVI) of brolucizumab in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD)
