Smartphone app could help wet AMD patients space out eye injections

NCT ID NCT07340372

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether a home monitoring app can help people with wet age-related macular degeneration (eAMD) safely extend the time between Aflibercept injections. About 80 adults already receiving this treatment will use the app and have regular eye exams over one to two years. The goal is to see if vision stays stable with longer treatment intervals and to measure patient satisfaction.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Aflibercept 8 mg injection
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that home monitoring allows patients with wet AMD to safely extend time between eye injections, reducing clinic visits while maintaining vision.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The home monitoring app's accuracy and patient adherence are unproven in this setting.
