Retrospective Multicenter Real-world Observational Study of Switching to Aflibercept 8 mg in Patients With Refractory or Dependent Exudative Age-related Macular Degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration is a leading cause of visual impairment in older adults. In its exudative form, repeated intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF agents are required to control disease activity. A new formulation of aflibercept at a higher dose (8 mg) has been developed with the aim of extending the interval between injections. This multicenter retrospective real-world observational study will evaluate the effect of switching to aflibercept 8 mg in patients with refractory or dependent exudative age-related macular degeneration. Clinical data collected during routine care will be analyzed to compare injection intervals, treatment burden, visual outcomes, anatomical outcomes, and safety before and after the switch.

Home Monitoring in eAMD Treatment

The goal of this observational clinical study is to collect more information about the efficacy of Aflibercept 8 mg injections in people with eAMD. The main questions it aims to answer are: * To reassure patients and doctors with longer intervals using home monitoring app; * To assess patient reported outcomes (PROMs) and Value-based Healthcare. Participants already taking Aflibercept 8 mg as part of their regular medical care for eAMD will undergo regular ophthalmological examination and use a home monitoring app, in a one year and a two-year treatment period.

An Assistant Model for Anti-VEGF Therapy Decision

We present FM-VEGF-CDSS system, the first foundation model-based AI system specifically designed for the decision of anti-VEGF therapy by emulating clinician decision-making reasoning process for those with exudative retinal diseases. FM-VEGF-CDSS is capable of processing multimodal input including optical coherence tomography (OCT) and descriptive medical metadata. Trained and validated on cases from centers across China, the system performed well in both internal and external validation dataset, and could generate the convenient report to enhance decision-making interpretability. To validate its clinical practice, we conducted a prospective multicenter RCT, rigorously assessing FM-VEGF-CDSS system's prediction accuracy and real-world utility. This will improve the standardized decision for anti-VEGF therapy, promoting health equity.

Real-Life Clinical Outcomes of Aflibercept Biosimilar MY-1701P in the Treatment of Exudative Age-Related Macular Degeneration

In this study, patients receiving Eylea treatment will be treated with Yesafili, a biosimilar molecule, and routine examination results will be noted.
