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
Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Wet Macular Degeneration | Drug: Aflibercept (EYLEA, BAY-86-5321) |
The study is both retrsopective and prospective to collect local real life data on patients under routine treatment.
The observation periods starts on January 2014. Patients who initiated a treatment by Aflibercept between the 1st of january 2014 and the 31 December 2015 will be enrolled.

- Treatment success rate (defined as a gain of at least 1 letter in BCVA and/or a diminution of CRT (expressed in µm)) [ Time Frame: Between initial visit and 12 month follow up visit ]The 12 month follow up visit is the visit 12 month after the first injection of aflibercept
- Proportion of patients whose BCVA increases by ≥ 0 letter, ≥ 5 letters, ≥ 10 letters, ≥15 letters [ Time Frame: Between initial visit and up to 1 year maximum ]The end of study visit is the visit 12 month after the first injection of aflibercept or after last follow up visit when the patient drop out the study whichever apply..

- Proportion of patients with dry-OCT [ Time Frame: Between initial visit and up to 1 year maximum ]
- Mean duration of treatment with ranibizumab before initiation of aflibercept [ Time Frame: Between initial visit and up to 1 year maximum ]
- Mean change in Central retinal thickness in µm (OCT) [ Time Frame: Between initial visit and up to 1 year maximum ]
