About this study

The investigators will collect safety information and evaluate effectiveness in patients who are prescribed Beovu ® Injection, Beovu ®Prefilled Syringe (brolucizumab) in the approved indication after receiving informed consent over a period of 12 weeks. In addition, longer-term data (24 weeks, optionally 36 weeks) will be collected.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients aged ≥18 years with nAMD that are prescribed with Brolucizumab as per approved local product information
  • Patients who consent to participate in the study after the purpose and nature of the study have clearly explained to them (written informed consent)

Exclusion criteria

  • Contraindications as per local prescribing information 1) Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients. 2) Active or suspected ocular or periocular infection. 3) Active intraocular inflammation.
  • Patients participating in other investigational drug trial

Treatment and study plan

Brolucizumab

Other

Prospective observational study. There is no treatment allocation. Patients administered brolucizumab, that have started before inclusion of the patient into the study will be enrolled.

Other names: Beovu

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of adverse events at 12 weeks

    Time frame: 12 weeks

    Incidence of adverse events and serious adverse events

Secondary outcomes

  1. Incidence of adverse events at 24 weeks and optionally at 36 weeks

    Time frame: Up to 36 weeks

    Incidence of adverse events and serious adverse events

  2. Proportion of patients gaining or losing more than 15 letters on the ETDRS chart

    Time frame: Week 12, week 24, optionally week 36

    The ETDRS chart has been introduced as a standardized visual acuity (VA) testing chart. It uses 14 lines of 5 Sloan letter optotypes in each line in logarithmic progression. The space between lines and letters is proportionally equal keeping the effect of contour interaction constant. The threshold VA corresponds to the line in which 3 out of 5 optotypes were correctly identified. Alternatively, a by-letter scoring system (-0.02 logMAR credited for each letter correctly read) can be used. The testing distance can be varied; the corresponding visual acuity can be read easily from the chart. The chart is mounted on a box that is backlit by fluorescent tubes. For repeated measurements, the chart itself can be exchanged, providing different letters for different eyes.

  3. Mean change of Central Subfield Thickness (CST) from baseline

    Time frame: Baseline, week 12, week 24, optionally week 36

    CST is measured as one parameter by Optical coherence tomography.

  4. Mean change of Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) from baseline

    Time frame: Baseline, week 12, week 24, optionally week 36

    BCVA is the best possible vision that an eye can achieve with the use of glasses or contact lenses. It is measured by ETDRS chart or equivalent with the use of glasses or contact lenses

  5. Mean Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA)

    Time frame: Baseline, week 12, week 24, optionally week 36

    BCVA is the best possible vision that an eye can achieve with the use of glasses or contact lenses. It is measured by ETDRS chart or equivalent with the use of glasses or contact lenses

  6. Mean Central Subfield Thickness (CST)

    Time frame: Baseline, Week 12, week 24, optionally week 36

    CST is measured as one parameter by Optical coherence tomography.

  7. Number of injections

    Time frame: Up to 36 weeks

    Number of Brolucizumab injections to be collected

  8. Percentage of patients completing the loading phase

    Time frame: 4 months

    Loading phase: ≥ 3 injection during first 4 months

  9. Percentage of patients who maintained with 12 weeks interval

    Time frame: Up to 36 weeks

    Percentage(%) of patients who maintained with 12 weeks interval

  10. Proportion of patients with retinal fluid

    Time frame: Week 12, week 24, optionally week 36

    Proportion of patients with Intraretinal fluid (IRF), subretinal fluid (SRF) or sub-retinal pigment epithelium (sub-RPE) fluid defined as presence/absence

  11. Prior anti-VEGF treatment history - number of prior injections

    Time frame: Baseline

    Number of injections of prior anti- vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatment

  12. Prior anti-VEGF treatment history - agent of prior injections

    Time frame: Baseline

    Agent of prior anti - vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections

  13. Predictive factors of treatment outcomes (persistent disease activity)

    Time frame: Week 24

    Predictive factors of patients identified with persistent disease activity. Persistent disease activity is defined as presence of fluid and CST of at least 200µm

  14. Treatment naïve/non-naïve

    Time frame: Baseline

    Number of participants that are treatment naïve / non-naïve to be collected

  15. Treatment interval

    Time frame: Up to week 36

    Number of participants by treatment interval to be collected

  16. Concomitant treatments

    Time frame: Baseline

    Number of participants with concomitant treatments to be collected

  17. Number of participants with post injection empirical treatment

    Time frame: Week 12, week 24, optionally week 36

    Post injection emperical treatment means any medication or therapy (usually topical medication such as topical antibiotics, topical steroid..etc.) routinely prescribed on the same day of injection in order to prevent post injection complications. It is differentiated from concomitant medication.
