Brief Summary

This study was a retrospective cohort study of patients to assess the early insights into real-world safety among wet AMD patients initiating brolucizumab. Evidence was generated to describe their patient characteristics and clinical outcomes. The study was conducted using the Komodo Healthcare Map.

Conditions

Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

Keywords

Brolucizumab,; intravitreal injection,; neovascular age-related macular degeneration

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  To assess IOI events observed after starting treatment with brolucizumab

  Up to 6 months post brolucizumab injection

Secondary Outcomes (30)

• Age

  Index date defined as the date of the earliest brolucizumab injection during the index period (from 08-Oct-2019 to 30-Apr-2020)

• Gender information

  Index date defined as the date of the earliest brolucizumab injection during the index period (from 08-Oct-2019 to 30-Apr-2020)

• Number of patients at various Patient Region

  Index date defined as the date of the earliest brolucizumab injection during the index period (from 08-Oct-2019 to 30-Apr-2020)

• Number of patients with Insurance type

  Index date defined as the date of the earliest brolucizumab injection during the index period (from 08-Oct-2019 to 30-Apr-2020)

• Number of patients with Laterality of wet Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)

  Index date defined as the date of the earliest brolucizumab injection during the index period (from 08-Oct-2019 to 30-Apr-2020)

Study Population

Patients with wet AMD who initiated brolucizumab were analyzed in this study.

You may qualify if:

• ≥1 Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) code (J code) or National Drug Code (NDC) for treatment with brolucizumab during the index period (date of earliest code = index date)
• ≥18 years old on the index date
• ≥1 International Classification of Diseases, Clinical Modification-9/10 (ICD-9/10) code for wet AMD in the 36 months prior to or on the index date
• Note: Off-label use of brolucizumab is not expected given payer access restrictions in the US
• ≥24 months of continuous enrollment prior to the index date
• ≥1 follow-up visit related to their wet AMD after the index date

You may not qualify if:

• Use of brolucizumab prior to 08-Oct-2019 (e.g. clinical trials)
• Unknown laterality of the index eye on the index date
• Patients with no data throughout the 12 months immediately prior to the index date
