Efficacy and Safety of Intravitreal Aflibercept Injection in Japanese Patients with Neovascular Glaucoma: Outcomes from the VENERA Study.
Summary
The researchers in this trial want to learn how the drug aflibercept works in in Japanese patients with increased eye pressure that is caused by new blood vessels growing in the eye (neovascular glaucoma or NVG). They also want to find out how patient tolerate the application of the drug that is injected in the vitreous humor of the eye and if this will cause any medical problems during the trial (vitreous humor, also called vitreous body is the clear gel that fills the space between the lens and the retina of the eyeball).
