About this study
Official title: Real-World, Long-Term Data Collection to Gain Clinical Insights Into Faricimab (FaReal Study)
The FaReal study aims to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, clinical insights and treatment patterns in patients treated with faricimab, in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) or diabetic macular edema (DME) in at least one eye, in real-world routine clinical practice over a 2-year patient follow-up period. Additionally, the FaReal study also aims to describe and evaluate health economic aspects of previous anti-VEGF treatments and current treatment with faricimab.
- Being tested
- Faricimab
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
FaricimabDrug
Also called VABYSMO®, RO6867461, RG7716
Faricimab will be administered as per local clinical practice and local labeling.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Cohort 1: Faricimab for nAMD | This cohort will be divided into two sub-cohorts based on eye treatment history: anti-VEGF treatment naive and anti-VEGF pre-treated. Receives: Drug: Faricimab | |
| Cohort 2: Faricimab for DME | This cohort will be divided into two sub-cohorts based on eye treatment history: anti-VEGF treatment naive and anti-VEGF pre-treated. Receives: Drug: Faricimab |
