Glaucoma, Neovascular

Study to learn how the drug aflibercept works in in Japanese patients with increased eye pressure that is caused by new blood vessels growing in the eye (neovascular glaucoma or NVG). Safety of the drug and patients’ tolerability of the drug injection is also studied

Trial purpose

The researchers in this trial want to learn how the drug aflibercept works in in Japanese patients with increased eye pressure that is caused by new blood vessels growing in the eye (neovascular glaucoma or NVG). They also want to find out how patient tolerate the application of the drug that is injected in the vitreous humor of the eye and if this will cause any medical problems during the trial (vitreous humor, also called vitreous body is the clear gel that fills the space between the lens and the retina of the eyeball).

Primary Outcome

  • Change in intraocular pressure (IOP) from baseline to Week 1
    The primary efficacy analysis was on the changes in IOP from baseline to Week 1 (LOCF).
    date_rangeTime Frame:
    Baseline and week 1

Secondary Outcome

  • Percentage of participants who had improved neovascularization of the iris (NVI) grade from baseline to Week 1
    NVI Grade: 0=No iris neovascularization; 1=Fine surface neovascularization of the pupillary zone of the iris involving less than two quadrants; 2=Surface neovascularization of the pupillary zone of the iris involving more than two quadrants; 3=In addition to neovascularization of the pupillary zone, neovascularization of the ciliary zone of the iris and/or ectropion uveae involving one to three quadrants; 4=In addition to neovascularization of the pupillary zone, neovascularization of the ciliary zone of the iris and/or ectropion uveae involving more than three quadrants. The change in NVI grades categorized to “Improved” means improvement by at least one grade from baseline.

    Baseline and week 1
