Brief Summary   Neovascular Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) encompasses progressive retinal degenerative changes affecting the macula and hence affecting central vision. It affects mainly the aged population. None of the currently available treatments cures or reverses the disease. Introduction of Anti- VEGF for its treatment has led to therapeutic advancement in managing nAMD.
Introduction of Faricimab offers a possible hope of  achieving of  q12weeks - q16 weeks goals in almost half of the  population as evidenced in the STAIRWAY phase 2 and phase 3. However, these trials were conducted on patients outside India. Faricimab is a bispecific antibody which targets both Ang-2 and vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) hence sustained efficacy for longer treatment intervals for age related macular degeneration.
Our study encompasses intravitreal injection  either Faricimab 6.0 mg or Aflibercept 2.0 mg intravitreal in the affected eye under topical anaesthesia under asepsis after taking informed consent. Patients will be examined at 0, 4 & 8 weeks and all patients will receive 3 four-weekly loading dose. Following this all patients would be examined at 4 weekly intervals for disease activity assessment.
Disease activity will be monitored and at the end we shall be comparing the results of the two arms of the study.
