9.5 Eylea
Summary
Acting as a soluble circulation trap for VEGF, aflibercept binds firmly to the target, clears it from the vitreous, and therefore inhibits binding and activation of the VEGF receptors. The affinity of aflibercept to VEGF-A is considerably higher than that for monoclonal anti-VEGF antibodies. This high-affinity binding is observed in vivo as one-month intravitreal binding.
