Summary

This trial is comparing the effectiveness of a new treatment called EYP-1901 to an existing treatment called Aflibercept.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration (wAMD), either new or previously treated. Participants must have a certain level of vision, measured by the ETDRS letter score, and if previously treated, they should have had at least two anti-VEGF injections in the past six months.
What is being tested?
The study compares EYP-1901 to Aflibercept over two years to see which is more effective for wAMD. It's a phase 3 trial where participants are randomly assigned treatments and neither they nor the researchers know who gets which treatment (double-masked).
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, both EYP-1901 and Aflibercept can potentially cause eye-related side effects due to their application via injection into the eye.
