Ophthalmology, Macular Degeneration

Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Existing Anti vascUlar Endothelial Growth Factor (Anti VEGF) in Patients With Wet Age-related Macular Degeneration (wAMD) (AURA)

Trial purpose

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 August 31, 2009 must be consecutively screened and, if eligible, enrolled. Patients will be followed up at maximum until August 31, 2011. Switch to any other Anti vascUlar endothelial growth factor (anti VEGF) treatment will be documented and followed up. For each patient, demographics, medical history, administered treatments, results of ocular and visual assessments and other tests (where available) will be documented.
