Intervention  Brolucizumab Injection (120mg/ml)  A real-world, prospective, multi-center, open-label, phase IV clinical study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of intravitreal injections (IVI) of brolucizumab in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) Dose: 6 mg injection Frequency: Patients will receive loading doses of brolucizumab at Day 0/Visit 1, Week 4/Visit 2 and Week 8/Visit 3. After the loading doses, at Week 16, disease activity assessment (DAA) will be performed based on BCVA and OCT to assess whether the patient will require q8w or q12w dosing. Patients who are scheduled for q8w dosing with brolucizumab will receive injections at weeks 16, 24, 32, 40, 48. Patients who are scheduled for q12w dosing of brolucizumab will receive injections at weeks 20, 32, and 44 route of administration: intravenous (IV) duration of therapy: 56 week study

Brief Summary  

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of severe vision loss in people affecting 10%-13% of individuals over the age of 65 in North America, Europe, and Australia . Genetic, environmental, and health factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of the disease.

The purpose of this study is to generate additional safety and effectiveness data in a larger nAMD patient population in India that more closely resembles the real-world population intended to be treated with brolucizumab.

A real-world, prospective, multi-center, open-label, phase IV clinical study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of intravitreal injections (IVI) of brolucizumab in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD)
