...Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) is sight-threatening, but can be treated by three currently utilized, intravitreally administered drugs: aflibercept, bevacizumab, and ranibizumab...Clinical trials of ziv-aflibercept in other neovascular disorders such as diabetic macular edema (DME) and retinal vein occlusion (RVO) have shown similar results. Further prospective, randomized studies of ziv-aflibercept are needed, particularly in eyes with nAMD.

Journal: The role of anti-VEGF therapy in geographic atrophy progression (Pubmed Central) - Aug 15, 2019 Based on literature data, GA in AMD can be subtyped as follows: drusen-related; associated with choroidal neovascularization; secondary to anti-VEGF treatment; subsequent to collapse of RPE detachment and RPE rupture. Comparison of functional results of various examination methods suggests that presence of GA in patients with exudative AMD cannot be a counter-indication for anti-VEGF therapy, but these patients require careful monitoring involving high-technology methods of eye fundus visualization and personalized approach when choosing the treatment regimen.
