Study summary

This study will describe and estimate the incidence of Retinal Vasculitis (RV) events among patients and patient eyes receiving aflibercept intravitreal (IVT) (Eylea®, aflibercept 2mg) therapy in US clinical practice.

The main objective is to describe demographic and clinical characteristics of patients receiving aflibercept 2mg injections, to estimate the incidence of RV and RV plus Intraocular Inflammation (IOI) following aflibercept 2mg injections and to describe characteristics of RV cases.

This study is purely descriptive using US claims data from Komodo Healthcare Map.

Study population

The study population will represent patients and patient-eyes who initiate aflibercept 2 mg injections

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria for Patient Population:

1. All aflibercept injections identified by the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) or National Drug Code (NDC) from January 1, 2017, to February 29, 2024, as recorded in the Komodo close claims database.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Aflibercept injections with unspecified laterality will be excluded
  2. Aflibercept injections from individuals aged \<18 years or those with unknown age on the injection date will be excluded
  3. Patient-eyes with a diagnosis of RV in the same eye as the aflibercept injection or with unspecified laterality within 12 months (365 days) prior to index date (inclusive), as defined in the protocol
  4. Patient-eyes that do not meet the continuous enrollment requirement will be excluded
  5. Aflibercept injections will be excluded if there is ≥1 other anti-VEGF injection administered on the same date

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of RV events

    Incidence will be defined as the number of events during the at-risk period divided by the total number of injections, identified using international classification of diseases (ICD-10) diagnosis codes

    Time frame: During the 60-Day at-risk period following aflibercept 2 mg IVT, up to approximately 7 years

  2. Incidence of RV plus IOI events

    Incidence will be defined as the number of events during the at-risk period divided by the total number of injections, identified using international classification of diseases (ICD-10) diagnosis codes

    Time frame: During the 60-Day at-risk period following aflibercept 2 mg IVT, up to approximately 7 years

  3. Demographics characteristics

    Demographics include: sex, age, race/ethnicity, insurance, geographic area

    Time frame: 12 months prior to the index date

  4. Clinical characteristics: Number of participants with different retinal disease diagnosis categories

    Retinal disease categories: nAMD, DME, DR w/o DME, or macular edema following retinal vein occlusion \[MEfRVO\])

    Time frame: 12 months prior to the index date

  5. Clinical characteristics: Mean Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) score

    The Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) is a method used to categorize comorbidities based on International Classification of Diseases (ICD) diagnosis codes. A score of 0 indicates that no comorbidities were found, while higher scores correspond to increased predicted mortality

    Time frame: 12 months prior to the index date

  6. Clinical characteristics: Summary of comorbidities reported as number of participants with different categories

    Different comorbidity categories: Syphilis, Herpesviridae, Toxoplasmosis, Tuberculosis, Systemic lupus erythematosus, Multiple sclerosis, Behçet's disease, Cardiovascular disease, Hypertension, Diabetes, Hypercholesterolemia

    Time frame: 12 months prior to the index date

  7. Clinical characteristics: Number of participants with prior anti-VEGF treatment

    Time frame: 12 months prior to the index date

Secondary outcomes

  1. Incidence of RV plus RO

    Incidence will be defined as the number of events during the at-risk period divided by the total number of injections, identified using international classification of diseases (ICD-10) diagnosis codes

    Time frame: During the 60-Day at-risk period following aflibercept 2 mg IVT, up to approximately 7 years
