What is Involved?
If you choose to join this study, you will get a random assignment (by chance) to 1 of 3 groups:
- Group 1: You will get the study drug implanted
- Group 2: You will get 2 mg aflibercept injections (standard drug)
- Group 3: You will get 8 mg aflibercept injections
The study drug implant is made with a gel-like structure that is designed to dissolve in the eye and be resorbed by the body and does not need to be removed.
Participation in the study will last approximately 16.5 months (72 weeks) for each participant. Duration includes up to 24 weeks of screening, 40 weeks of drug regimen, and 8 weeks of follow-up.
