Summary

Title: Intravitreal aflibercept (VEGF Trap-Eye) in neovascular age-related macular degeneration with limited response to ranibizumab

Purpose: The purpose of this investigator initiated study is to identify the duration of treatment effects of intravitreal aflibercept on sub- and intraretinal fluid and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in choroidal neovascularizations (CNV) due to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in which the Optical coherence tomography (OCT) guided treatment interval failed to be extended to 6 weeks intervals in a treat and extend regimen.

Objectives: The primary objective is to evaluate the mean maximum recurrence-free treatment interval (Imax in weeks) with aflibercept treatment during the 24 months study peroid (for explanation see section Objectives). The individual maximum recurrence-free treatment interval (in weeks) at 24 weeks is defined as the maximum extension interval which is reached during the study follow-up period without showing any CNV activity (any intra-or subretinal fluid at OCT or new retinal hemorrhage). This measure reflects the duration of aflibercept effect in these lesions with limited response to ranibizumab. Key secondary Outcome Measures are mean changes in BCVA score at 24 weeks from baseline (Δ BCVAscore), mean changes in CRT (µm) at 24 weeks from baseline (Δ CRT), mean number of treatments needed during the 24 weeks study follow-up, number of participants with adverse events and serious adverse events (for further outcome measures see section Objectives).

Population: This outpatient study population will consist of a representative group of 33 male and female patients ≥ 50 years of age. The study population will include patients with subfoveal CNV secondary to AMD and being pre-treated with intravitreal ranibizumab in a treat and extend regimen and failed to be extended to 6-weeks intervals without showing CNV activity (for further information see section Criteria).

Interventions: 1-arm interventional study with 2mg aflibercept intravitreally up to 4-weekly. The first treatment interval with aflibercept will be 4 weeks and corresponding to the treat and extend regime intervals will be increased in 2-weeks-steps as long as no CNV activity (any intra-or subretinal fluid at OCT or new retinal hemorrhage) occurs. In case of occuring CNV activity the interval is shortened by 4 weeks with a minimum treatment interval of 4 weeks.
