Evaluation of physician knowledge of safety and safe use information for intravitreal aflibercept injection in Europe: a second survey of physicians following dissemination of updated risk-minimization materials. Pharmaceut Med. 2024 Jan;38(1):63-73. doi: 10.1007/s40290-023-00506-7


BACKGROUND: Materials have been distributed in the European Union to inform physicians on the safe use of intravitreal aflibercept (IVT-AFL) as part of the risk-minimization plan for IVT-AFL. Objective: We aimed to measure physician knowledge and understanding of key safety information for IVT-AFL.
