About this study

Official title: Real-World, Long-Term Data Collection to Gain Clinical Insights Into Faricimab (FaReal Study)

The FaReal study aims to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, clinical insights and treatment patterns in patients treated with faricimab, in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) or diabetic macular edema (DME) in at least one eye, in real-world routine clinical practice over a 2-year patient follow-up period. Additionally, the FaReal study also aims to describe and evaluate health economic aspects of previous anti-VEGF treatments and current treatment with faricimab.

Being tested
Faricimab

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • FaricimabDrug

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration and Diabetic Macular Edema, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 59 sites in 15 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 59 sites in Poland, Bulgaria, Austria, Czechia, Israel and 10 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in Visual Acuity from Index Date to 12 Months (time frame: Index Date and 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06680817.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Oct 2026.
