What the Study Found (In Plain English)
Published in Eye (London, England) (2023), this phase iii randomized trial evaluating human clinical outcomes investigated: To assess the therapeutic response to brolucizumab and aflibercept by deep learning/OCT-based analysis of macular fluid volumes in neovascular age-related macular degeneration. Key clinical takeaway: Deep-learning methods allow an accurate assessment of substance and regimen efficacy. Irrespectively, all fluid compartments were found to be important markers of disease activity and were relevant for visual outcomes.
