Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Age-related macular degeneration is a major cause of blindness in Japan, and the number of affected patients has been increasing. Neovascular age-related macular degeneration causes growth of abnormal vessels in choroid or retina and deteriorates the retina leading visual decline and central scotoma. To repress the activity of the neovascularization, intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents needs to be done regularly in most cases. In particular, some cases need the injection every one or two months, and this burden for patients and medical insurance has been grown significantly. On this March, brolucizumab (trade name: Beovu) was approved by the authority as a new anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agent for neovascular age-related macular degeneration. As brolucizumab is a small molecular than other anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agent and can be delivered at high dose, it is expected to have long-term effect and may extend the injection period by switching from aflibercept. The purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility of extension of the injection period by switching the agent from aflibercept to brolucizumab and to establish best approach for neovascular age-related macular degeneration, consequently, to relive the burden for patients and medical insurance.

Interventions/Control_1

Brolucizumab will be intravitreally injected to the eligible eyes with the same injection period of the previous agent, and efficacy and safety of the brolucizumab will be analyzed. The second injection of the brolucizumab will be injected with the interval of 4 weeks, then the third injection will be injected with the interval of 8weeks, and the following injection will be injected with the interval of previous injection plus 2 weeks unless the activity of neovascularization won't be detected. If the activity of neovascularization reemerges, the injection period will be shortened by 2 weeks until the activity of neovascularization cannot be detected. In case, the injection period needs to be less than 8weeks, switching the agents is considered failure. The failed eye will be excluded from this study and returned to the previous treatment.
