Safety and Efficacy of Aflibercept in Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy.

March 9, 2020 updated by: Poitiers University Hospital

Phase 2 Study of Safety and Efficacy of Aflibercept in Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy.

Proliferative diabetic retinopathy is a serious complication of diabetes mellitus, partly consecutive to upregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) as a consequence of retinal ischemia leads. Aflibercept has been approved by FDA and European medicine agency for treatment of exudative age-related macular degeneration, another retinal disease characterized by choroidal new vessels.

The aim of this pilot study is to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of Aflibercept intravitreal injections compared to panretinal photocoagulation for proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
