Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD)

EYLEA® 8mg (aflibercept 114.3 mg/ml) is indicated in adults for the treatment of neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and visual impairment due to diabetic macular oedema (DME).

For those who want flexibity to optimise patient intervals to Q16 and beyond

Save sight

whilst minimising treatment burden

Flexibility to extend treatment

intervals as far as Q24

Suppress VEGF

with a safety profile comparable to EYLEA 2mg

With only 3 loading doses and as few as 8 injections over 2 years
‡§

* Following 3 monthly loading doses, intervals can be extended to Q16, dependent on visual and/or anatomic outcomes, and subsequently to Q24 (e.g. with a T&E regimen) if visual and/or anatomic outcomes are stable. Consult the SmPC for full posology.
† Extend treatment intervals across your nAMD clinic, as far as Q24, for your eligible nAMD patients.
‡ Patients could receive as few as 8 injections per dosing schedule within the trial protocol.
§ Loading doses refers to the initial monthly dosing phase.

PULSAR

Optimise vision whilst minimising burden

Primary endpoint: mean change in BCVA from baseline to Week 48

With EYLEA 8mg, patients achieved lasting BCVA gains from baseline with as few as 5 injections in Year 1*

  • EYLEA 8mg was non-inferior vs. EYLEA 2mg

* Includes 3 initial monthly doses.


    Flexibility to extend treatment intervals for eligible nAMD patients

    In PULSAR, ~8 out of 10 patients maintained 16-week treatment intervals from baseline through Week 48*

    PULSAR treatment intervals week 48

    *Patients completing Week 48: 2Q8 n=309; 8Q12 n=316; 8Q16 n=312.

    Extend treatment intervals for eligible patients across your nAMD clinic

    In PULSAR, ~8 out of 10 patients achieved a last assigned dosing interval of ≥Q16 at Week 96*

    PULSAR treatment intervals week 96

    *Patients completing Week 96: 8Q12 n=291; 8Q16 n=292.

    Extend treatment intervals beyond expectations 

    The first and only anti-VEGF for nAMD that allows for extension to treatment intervals of Q24 after reaching Q16*

    PULSAR treatment intervals week 96_

    * Following 3 monthly loading doses, intervals can be extended to Q16, dependent on visual and/or anatomic outcomes, and subsequently to Q24 (e.g. with a T&E regimen) if visual and/or anatomic outcomes are stable. Consult the SmPC for full posology.
    † Patients completing Week 96: 8Q12 n=291; 8Q16 n=292.
