In contrast to the extent of the lack of treatment adherence, there is so far insufficient evidence for elucidating the causes of nonadherence. The ANDROMEDA study was initiated to investigate the influencing factors on the adherence of nAMD patients to treatment. The focus of the study was on patient reported endpoints, as the perceptions and experiences of the patients are of enormous importance for the investigation of the various aspects of adherence to treatment.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>This publication presents the design of the ANDROMEDA study as well as the development of a new patient questionnaire for the assessment of barriers to treatment within the design of the study.</p><p><strong>Material and methods: </strong>This prospective noninterventional observational study to assess the compliance of patients with nAMD and anti-VEGF treatment was started at the end of January 2019. It is planned to include 1000 patients in 120 study centers throughout Germany with an observational period of 24 months. Patient interviews on general and vision-related quality of life, treatment satisfaction and possible barriers to treatment will be conducted at the beginning and after 4, 12 and 24 months. All patient visits will be documented by the study centers as part of the clinical routine. To date, there has been no suitable instrument for recording patient-related circumstances and potential barriers to anti-VEGF treatment. Therefore, a specific patient questionnaire for longitudinal assessment of adherence factors to intravitreal (anti-VEGF) therapy (LAF-IVT) was developed as part of the study concept. The questionnaire, developed by an expert panel, was tested via qualitative interviews for its cognitive characteristics ahead of its use.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The results of the study are expected in early 2023. The cognitive examination of the LAF-IVT confirmed the feasibility of the new questionnaire. The practicability and significance of the new instrument can be assessed after completion of the quantitative data collection.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The symptoms, barriers, burdens and quality of life effects experienced by patients influence the adherence to treatment and thus the outcome.
