Background: A high-dose formulation of intravitreal aflibercept (8 mg) could improve treatment outcomes in diabetic macular oedema (DMO) by requiring fewer injections than the standard comparator, aflibercept 2 mg. We report efficacy and safety results of aflibercept 8 mg versus 2 mg in patients with DMO.
Methods: PHOTON was a randomised, double-masked, non-inferiority, phase 2/3 trial performed at 138 hospitals and specialty retina clinics in seven countries.
Importance: Despite the effectiveness of existing anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapies, a need remains for further treatment options to improve response rates and/or reduce injection or monitoring frequency in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME).
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of brolucizumab vs aflibercept dosed every 4 weeks in participants with DME.
Design, Participants, And Setting: This 52-week, double-masked, phase 3 randomized clinical trial included treatment-naive adults and adults who had previously received anti-VEGF therapy.
Purpose: To evaluate the functional and anatomic outcomes of faricimab treatment in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) who are unresponsive to other anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapies.
Methods: A retrospective interventional study was conducted on patients with refractory nAMD who were initially treated with intravitreal bevacizumab, ranibizumab, or aflibercept. These patients were switched to monthly faricimab injections.
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a topical ophthalmic suspension combination of povidone-iodine 0.6% (PVP-I) and dexamethasone 0.1% (DEX) for infectious and inflammatory components of bacterial conjunctivitis.
