Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective of the present study is to evaluate the annual incidence of both ocular and systemic drug-related adverse events following ranibizumab treatment in patients diagnosed with wAMD and BCVA <2/10 and/or second eye affected, whichever BCVA reported.;Secondary Objective: - Describe the treatment patterns for ranibizumab in this type of population; estimate the proportion of systemic and ocular AEs stratifying by type of patient; - evaluate the incidence rate of AEs by study drug exposure; - evaluate a carry-over effect of exposure to possible previous treatment(s) on the relationship between the rate of AEs and drug exposure; - and evaluate the incidence of new onset second eye with wet AMD diagnosis in patients currently enrolled with unilateral diagnosis.;Primary end point(s): Annual incidence of both ocular and systemic drug-related adverse events following ranibizumab treatment.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Describe the treatment patterns for ranibizumab in this type of population; estimate the proportion of systemic and ocular AEs stratifying by type of patient; evaluate the incidence rate of AEs by study drug exposure; evaluate a carry-over effect of exposure to possible previous treatment(s) on the relationship between the rate of AEs and drug exposure; and evaluate the incidence of new onset second eye with wet AMD diagnosis in patients currently enrolled with unilateral diagnosis.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 months
