    Combination therapy with reduced-fluence photodynamic therapy and aflibercept did not improve visual acuity compared to aflibercept alone.

  • 2

    The study showed higher early polypoidal lesion closure rates with combination therapy at week 12 compared to monotherapy.

  • 3

    At week 52, lesion closure rates were 73% for combination therapy versus 47% for monotherapy.

  • 4

    No serious adverse events were reported in either treatment group during the trial.

  • 5

    The study faced limitations due to a smaller sample size and delays, impacting the ability to draw definitive conclusions.
