  • Myopia of greater than or equal to -6 D OR axial length of greater than (if thespherical myopic equivalent is <6.0 diopters, then the patient should have myopicchanges in the macula: lacquer cracks, focal chorioretinal atrophy, posteriorstaphyloma) or equal to 26.5 mm.
  • Active subfoveal or juxtafoveal (within 1 to 199 μm of the center of the fovea) CNVsecondary to pathologic myopia as defined by leakage on FA.

Study Description

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of antiangiogenic therapy to choroidal neovascularization secondary to pathologic myopia.

This study is planned as a randomized, multicenter, open-label, comperative, interventional. Patients with myopia included in it will receive brolucizumab or aflibercept.

The treatment proposed in this study is based on the world experience and scientific developments of the Filatov Institute of Eye Diseases and Tissue Therapy of the NAMS of Ukraine". Therefore, it is expected that the benefit/risk ratio in relation to the participation in this study should not be different from that described in the scientific literature and the benefits outweigh the risk. It is known that the absence of treatment in these diseases leads to an irreparable loss of central vision.

Patients with a pathologic myopia with CNV (native) will be treated with antiangiogenic drugs according to the regimen pro re nata.
