Abstract

genome copies of AAV8-nVEGFi exhibited a significantly increased reduction in the CNV area compared with AAV8-aflibercept (78.1% vs. 63.9%, p < 0.05), while causing no structural or functional changes to the retina. In conclusion, this preclinical study showed that subretinal injection of AAV8-nVEGFi was long lasting, well tolerated, and effective for nAMD treatment, supporting future translation to the clinic.
