  Purpose

The study will provide additional safety data for specific safety events in persons receiving intravitreal injections. The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) is interested in obtaining additional safety information when Macugen is used in real world settings by practitioners in Europe treating patients with neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The study will provide information about physician practice patterns and characteristics of patients treated with Macugen.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Incidence of Pertinent Ocular Adverse Events (POAEs) Per Injection [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    POAEs: primarily endophthalmitis, as well as increased intraocular pressure (IOP), vitreous hemorrhage, traumatic cataract, retinal detachment, and retinal tear. Incidence of POAEs per injection equals (=) number of specific POAEs divided by the total number of injections received.

  • Incidence of POAEs Per Injection Reported by Gender (Females) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    POAEs: primarily endophthalmitis, as well as increased IOP, vitreous hemorrhage, traumatic cataract, retinal detachment, and retinal tear. Incidence of POAEs per injection = number of specific POAEs divided by the total number of injections received.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Incidence of POAEs Per Injection Reported by Gender (Males) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    POAEs: primarily endophthalmitis, as well as increased IOP, vitreous hemorrhage, traumatic cataract, retinal detachment, and retinal tear. Incidence of POAEs per injection = number of specific POAEs divided by the total number of injections received.

  • Incidence of POAEs Per Injection Reported by Age Group (≤ 50 Years) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    POAEs: primarily endophthalmitis, as well as increased IOP, vitreous hemorrhage, traumatic cataract, retinal detachment, and retinal tear. Incidence of POAEs per injection = number of specific POAEs divided by the total number of injections received.

  • Incidence of POAEs Per Injection Reported by Age Group (51 to 64 Years) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    POAEs: primarily endophthalmitis, as well as increased IOP, vitreous hemorrhage, traumatic cataract, retinal detachment, and retinal tear. Incidence of POAEs per injection = number of specific POAEs divided by the total number of injections received.

  • Incidence of POAEs Per Injection Reported by Age Group (65 to 74 Years) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    POAEs: primarily endophthalmitis, as well as increased IOP, vitreous hemorrhage, traumatic cataract, retinal detachment, and retinal tear. Incidence of POAEs per injection = number of specific POAEs divided by the total number of injections received.

  • Incidence of POAEs Per Injection Reported by Age Group (≥ 75 Years) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    POAEs: primarily endophthalmitis, as well as increased IOP, vitreous hemorrhage, traumatic cataract, retinal detachment, and retinal tear. Incidence of POAEs per injection = number of specific POAEs divided by the total number of injections received.

  • Number of Participants With Serious Hypersensitivity Reactions [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 2 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Hypersensitivity reactions include Hypersensitivity, Drug hypersensitivity, Anaphylactic shock, Anaphylactic reaction, Anaphylactoid shock, Angioedema Anaphylactoid reaction, Blepharitis allergic, Dermatitis contact, Dermatitis allergic, Toxic skin eruption, Toxic epidermal necrolysis, Drug eruption, Erythema, Erythema multiforme, Tongue oedema, Pharyngeal oedema, Laryngeal oedema, Latex allergy, Paraesthesia oral, Paraesthesia mucosal, Urticaria, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, Rash, Skin reaction, Acute generalised exanthematous pustulosis, Drug rash with eosinphilia and systemic symptoms.
