Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: ? Any prior ocular (in the study eye) or systemic treatment or surgery for neovascular AMD,except dietary supplements or vitamins. ? Any prior or concomitant therapy with another investigational agent to treat neovascular AMD in the study eye. ? Prior treatment with anti-VEGF therapy in the study eye is not allowed ? No inflammation / infection in or around the eye ? Known hypersensitivity and allergies. ? Ocular surgery in the past other than cataract surgery. ? No other ocular disease that could lead to decrease of VA.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To study genetic variants of VEGF pathway (SNP markers located within the coding and regulatory regions of the genes of the VEGF pathway) and its relation to VEGF trap-Eye treatment efficacy in terms of the percentage of patients with ? 15 letters gain in visual acuity.;Secondary Objective: Overall and genetic subgroups outcomes in: ? Percentage of patients with ?15 letters gain/loss ? Mean change in visual acuity (BCVA)at 52 weeks ? Mean change in OCT central foveal thickness at 52 weeks ? Percentage of patients free of intra or subretinal fluid. ? CNV regression/change at week 52 from Baseline To assess the safety and tolerability of repeated ITV administration of VEGF Trap-Eye in the whole study population.;Primary end point(s): Genetic variants of VEGF pathway (SNPs alleles) and its correlation with percentage of patients with ?15 letters gain at Week 52.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: In week 52 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Genetic variants of VEGF pathway (SNPs variants) and its correlation with : ? Mean change in BCVA at week 12 measured by ETDRS Scale ? Percentage of patients with ?15 letters loss in VA ? Percentage of patients with no fluid on OCT at weeks12 and 52. ? Time from first injection until no more fluid is seen on OCT Safety variables: Ongoing safety assessments will include ophthalmic examinations, the recording and evaluation of clinical AEs. Genetic variables: Blood samples will be collected for VEGF pathway genetic variants analysis. Correlations will be studied between the SNPs in the genes of the VEGF pathway and the response to the aflibercept treatment.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Specified above | — |
