Can a higher dose of an existing eye drug cut injection frequency for wet AMD?

NCT ID NCT07728981

First seen Jul 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial is investigating whether a higher 8 mg dose of aflibercept, given every three months, can effectively control wet age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) in people who have not been treated before. The study will measure changes in eye fluid biomarkers, vision, and safety over 12 months. If the modified dosing works, it could mean fewer injections for patients.
