Popis: Abstract Background To review treatment outcomes from real-world data of patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) treated with intravitreal aflibercept (IVT-AFL) injection. Methods RAINBOW ( ClinicalTrials.gov , NCT02279537 ) is an ongoing, observational, 4-year study to monitor the effectiveness and safety of IVT-AFL in patients with nAMD in clinical practice in France. Treatment-naïve patients diagnosed with nAMD who had been prescribed IVT-AFL by their treating physician were eligible. The regimens of interest were regular treatment interval cohort (patients who received three initial monthly IVT-AFL injections followed by regular injections every 2 months) and two irregular treatment interval cohorts (with and without three initial monthly injections). Here we describe results at 24 months in patients according to IVT-AFL treatment regimen. Results The mean change in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) with IVT-AFL from baseline to 24 months was + 3.0 letters in the overall population (P
