Study to Evaluate an 8 mg Aflibercept (EYLEA®) Prefilled Syringe (PFS)

May 1, 2026 updated by: Regeneron Pharmaceuticals

A Study in Patients With Diabetic Macular Edema or Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration to Evaluate a High Dose Aflibercept (8 mg) Prefilled Syringe

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals developed a single-dose pre-filled syringe (PFS) to deliver 8 mg aflibercept. The PFS is a convenient device that contains the study medication that will be injected in your study eye. A PFS offers a sterile, single dose of study drug within the syringe; this eliminates the need for the retina specialist to prepare the injection syringe from a separate vial.

This Phase IIIb study is focused on patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) and neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).

The main aim of the study is to evaluate if the 8 mg aflibercept PFS allows for successful preparation and administration of 8 mg aflibercept by retina specialists. The study will also assess the safety of 8 mg aflibercept PFS use. Regeneron will use the information from the study to better understand if the PFS can be used safely and effectively by retina specialists to administer 8 mg aflibercept.

Plan to Share Individual Participant Data (IPD)?

YES

IPD Plan Description

All Individual Patient Data (IPD) that underlie publicly available results will be considered for sharing.

IPD Sharing Time Frame

When Regeneron has received marketing authorization from major health authorities (e.g., FDA, European Medicines Agency (EMA), Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA), etc.) for the product and indication, has made results publicly available (e.g., scientific publication, scientific conference, clinical trial registry), has the legal authority to share the data, and has ensured the ability to protect participant privacy.

IPD Sharing Access Criteria

Qualified researchers can submit a proposal for access to individual patient or aggregate level data from a Regeneron-sponsored clinical trial through Vivli.
