Study Summary

This clinical study was designed to compare the safety and efficacy of brolucizumab 6 mg dosed every 4 weeks to aflibercept 2 mg dosed every 4 weeks in those neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) patients with retinal fluid despite frequent anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) injections.

Primary Outcome

BCVA was assessed using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) visual acuity testing protocol at an initial testing distance of 4 meters. BCVA min and max possible scores are 0-100 respectively and a higher score represents better functioning. A positive change from baseline represents better functioning. Baseline BCVA was defined as the last measurement on or prior to the baseline visit. BCVA assessments after start of alternative anti-VEGF treatment in the study eye were censo
