Massive eye drug study reveals rare inflammation risk
NCT ID NCT06769412
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at over 550,000 people who received Eylea® injections for eye conditions to find out how often retinal vasculitis (a rare eye inflammation) occurs. Researchers used a large US registry and medical records to confirm cases. The goal was to better understand the safety of this common treatment.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Key Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patient-eyes with at least one aflibercept 2 mg injection between January 1, 2017 and June 30, 2023 2. Patient-eyes with at least one aflibercept 2 mg injection with a specified laterality. The earliest date of aflibercept injection will be the index date for each patient-eye 3. Patient-eyes with diagnosis (documented through ICD-10-CM diagnosis code) of nAMD, DME, DR without DME, DR with ME status unknown, and/or ME following RVO in the same eye as the aflibercept injection within 14 days prior to the index date (inclusive) Key Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with aflibercept 2 mg injection within 12 months (365 days) prior to the index date (not inclusive) will be excluded, as defined in the protocol 2. Patient-eyes with a diagnosis of RV in the same eye as the aflibercept injection or with unspecified laterality within 12 months (365 days) prior to index date (inclusive), as defined in the protocol 3. Aflibercept treatment episodes (aflibercept injections) with unspecified laterality, ophthalmic procedures or surgeries within 60 days prior to the injection date NOTE: Other protocol defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply
