Bimonthly VEGF Trap-Eye Compared to As-needed Administration or Standard Therapy for Exudative Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Over the last several years, the standard of care for wet macular degeneration has become treatment with intravitreal injections of ranibizumab (Lucentis, Genentech), administered as frequently as every 4 weeks. In contrast, clinical trials of a soluble VEGF receptor, Aflibercept/VEGF Trap-Eye (Eylea, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals) have demonstrated maintained anatomic and visual improvement with many fewer injections (typically monthly injections for 3 months, followed by every-other-month injections, and as few as 5 injections a year). The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients who have switched from ranibizumab to VEGF Trap-Eye have comparable results.
