REVIEW: Study to Assess the EffectiVeness of exIsting Anti-vascular Endothelial groWth Factor (Anti-VEGF) Treatment Regimens in Patients With Wet Age-related Macular Degeneration
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Retrospective, non-interventional, observational multi-center field study. Patients diagnosed with wet Age-related macular degeneration (wAMD) and having started treatment with ranibizumab between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009 must be consecutively screened and, if eligible, enrolled. Patients will be followed up at maximum until December 31, 2011. Switch to any other Anti vascular endothelial growth factor (anti VEGF) treatment will be documented. For each patient, demographics, medical history, administered treatments, results of ocular and visual assessments and other tests (where available) will be documented.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Changes in visual acuity after start of Anti vascular endothelial growth factor (anti VEGF) therapy with ranibizumab, assessed by Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy (ETDRS) or Snellen chard [Baseline and 24 months]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Demographic characteristics of patients included in the study (Age, Sex, Race) [Baseline]
- Mean time from first clinical presentation to diagnosis [Baseline]
- Mean time from diagnosis to treatment [Time from diagnosis to treatment: Up to 24 months]
- Mean time from diagnosis to end of follow-up [Time from diagnosis to end of follow-up: up to 48 months]
- Mean change of visual acuity, from diagnosis to end of follow-up, assessed by Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy (ETDRS) or Snellen chart [Baseline and 24 months]
- Mean change of retinal thickness from diagnosis to end of follow-up, assessed by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) [Baseline and 24 months]
- Mean change of lesion size from diagnosis to end of follow-up, assessed by Fluorescein Angiography (FA) [Baseline and 24 months]
- Average number of treatments given from diagnosis to end of follow-up [After 24 months]
