Real life of Aflibercept in France in patients refractory to Ranibizumab: observational study in Wet AMD

Trial purpose

The aim of the TITAN study is to describe the clinical practices of a cohort of patients with wAMD refractory to ranibizumab (persistence of intra-retinal and/or subretinal fluid) who switch to aflibercept after less than 12 months of ranibizumab treatment.
The study will be conducted in real-life conditions and will allow describing conditions of use of aflibercept in patients refractory to ranibizumab

Key Participants Requirements

Sex

Both

Age

18 - N/A
  • - Man or woman > 18 years old
    - Patient with wAMD previously treated with ranibizumab (for less than 12 months before initiation of Aflibercept)
    - Refractory to ranibizumab (defined by persistent fluid despite a treatment conducted according to the HAS French recommendations with at least 3 loading doses injections)
    - Patient who switched to aflibercept (Eylea) between 1st of January 2014 and 30th June 2015
    - Written informed consent given
  • - Patient who do not meet the local indication criteria for aflibercept treatment. Contraindications listed in the local SmPC (Summary of Product Characteristics) have to be considered
    - Recurrent patients with wAMD previously treated with ranibizumab and switched to aflibercept because of a high recurrence rate (recurrent patients described by Yonegawa et al.in AJO (American Journal of Ophthalmology )2013= exudation suppressed but high rate of injections)
    - Patient who have been previously treated by any macular laser Visudyne/PD (Photodynamic therapy)
    - Patient with a Visual Acuity (VA) <1/10
    - Patient with Fibrosis involving Macula
    - Patient with atrophic AMD
    - Patient with any other retinal disease as myopia, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular oedema,chorioretinal anastomosis (CRA),, angioid streaks
    - Patients taking part in an interventional study at the time of enrolment
