Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  AFLIBERCEPT 2.0 MG  ADMINISTRED INTRAVITREALLY AFLIBERCEPT 2.0 MG IN AFFECTED EYE.TREATMENT CONSISTS OF THREE LOADING DOSES AT MONTHLY INTERVAL(0,4 AND 8 WEEKS) FOLLOWING WHICH ALL PATIENTS WILL BE EXAMINED AT 4 WEEKLY INTERVAL FOR RE-INJECTION.TOTAL DURATION OF FOLLOW UP WILL BE 36 WEEKS. RE-INJECTION WILL BE BASED ON REDEVELOPMENT OF SRF AND FALL IN VISUAL ACUITY

Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
The duration of action of currently accepted first line treatment for neovascular age related macular degeneration is Ranibizumab and Aflibercept. The duration of action of Ranibizumab being 4 weeks and Aflibercept being 8 weeks. This creates a recurrent requirement of four weekly evaluation of patient leading to immense logistical and financial burden on patients. This study aims to compare Brolucizumab with Aflibercept in patients with neovascular age related macular degeneration in Indian population. Brolucizumab is a new molecule and is a longer acting drug. Brolucizumab offers a possibility of increasing the duration between hospital visits in patients of neovascular age related macular degeneration.
