*Extrapolated based on the study design given variable dosing in single study arm with weighted average based on minimum number of injections received (6) and maximum average injections received (7.5). Bolded studies are level 1 FDA registration and National Eye Institute trials which are included in the analysis.

†Brolucizumab 3 mg dose is the triangle data point in figure 1.
