Brolucizumab
DrugThere is no treatment allocation. Patients administered Brolucizumab by prescription that have started before inclusion of the patient into the study will be enrolled.
NCT Number: NCT04543331
This study is a prospective, non-interventional, multicenter, open-label study in nAMD and DME patients being treated with brolucizumab according to the EU SmPC.
An observational study design, without a strict, mandated visit schedule or mandated treatment regimen was chosen as the most appropriate to collect available data in a real life setting. For that reason, this NIS does not impose a therapy protocol, diagnostic/therapeutic procedure or a visit schedule. The diagnostic or monitoring procedures are only those ordinarily applied to the therapeutic strategy and to routine clinical care and will take place as per investigator's discretion. This includes e.g. visit frequency, injection frequency and types of assessments performed - only data from routine medical practice will be collected as part of the study.

BLUE SKY consists of the nAMD-related module BIRL (Brolucizumab In Real Life) and two general, indication-related study modules "BLUE SKY AMD" and "BLUE SKY DME".
Patients will be enrolled at approximately 55 centers, which will be representatively distributed amongst the 16 German federal states. This will ensure to reflect all state-specific health insurance laws and guidelines. Naïve and pre-treated patients will be included after decision to start treatment with brolucizumab and consent is given.
All patients will be documented either in the AMD or DME-module (Full Analysis Set).
For the BIRL module, only naïve nAMD patients enrolled in approximately 7 selected centers will be documented. All these centers are equipped with the Zeiss PlexElite OCT-A, needed to assess and analyze BIRL specific objectives in a comparable setting. Only images from routine medical practice will be collected as part of the study. The study eye will be defined as the first eye treated during the study, the other eye will be considered as fellow eye.
If both eyes are treated at baseline, the eye with the worse VA will be chosen as the study eye (if VA is measured equal, the treating ophthalmologist defines the study eye upon his discretion).
The prospective observation period per patient will be up to 24 months.
Healthy volunteers accepted: No
Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.
Inclusion criteria
The unit of analysis is patient-eye, i.e. all criteria should be applied to the study eye, unless otherwise specified. Patients will be included in the study if they fulfil the following requisites:
Exclusion criteria
There is no treatment allocation. Patients administered Brolucizumab by prescription that have started before inclusion of the patient into the study will be enrolled.

Index date (Baseline): defined as the date of the first anti-VEGF injection (brolucizumab) in patient eye.
Time frame: Baseline, month 12
This outcome measure is part of the BIRL module. This primary study objective will be addressed considering treatment naïve patient eyes.
Index date (Baseline): defined as the date of the first anti-VEGF injection (brolucizumab) in patient eye.
Time frame: After loading, month 12
This outcome measure is part of the BLUE SKY DME module. This primary study objective will be addressed considering treatment naïve patient eyes included in the study.
Time frame: Baseline, month 12
This outcome measure is part of the BLUE SKY DME module. This primary study objective will be addressed considering pre-treated patient eyes. Index date (Baseline): defined as the date of the first anti-VEGF injection (brolucizumab) in patient eyes.
