NCT ID NCT06491914
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a higher dose of the drug aflibercept (8 mg) given as an eye injection every 4 weeks to people with wet age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) or diabetic macular edema (DME). The goal is to see if this dosing schedule is safe and works well for those who have already been treated with similar medications. About 1,118 adults will take part, and researchers will track side effects and serious side effects.
