First seen Jan 29, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 14 times

Summary

This study tested whether the drug aflibercept could reduce swelling in the retina caused by a rare eye condition called macular telangiectasia type 1. The trial planned to compare aflibercept to a placebo over six months, but it was stopped early and only enrolled 16 people. Because of the small size and early termination, the results are not strong enough to guide treatment.
