- |||||||||| Retrospective data, Review: Different Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor for Patients With Diabetic Macular Edema: A Network Meta-Analysis. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 13, 2022
We included RCTs of anti-VEGF drugs (intravitreal aflibercept (IVT-AFL), intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR), and intravitreal conbercept (IVC)) treating adult patients who were diagnosed with DME, regardless of stage or duration of the disease...The effect of improvement in BCVA was identified for IVT-AFL compared to intravitreal bevacizumab...After two years, there was insufficient evidence to identify which anti-VEGF has superior efficacy or safety.

Retrospective data, Journal: Risk of dialysis in patients receiving intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor treatment: a population-based cohort study. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 10, 2022 Patients newly receiving intravitreal ranibizumab or aflibercept from 2000 to 2017 for age-related macular degeneration, polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy, diabetic macular edema, retinal vein occlusions, or myopic choroid neovascularization were included as the study group, and patients with same retinal diseases but did not receive intravitreal anti-VEGFs served as controls extracted by age- and sex-matched (1:4) and further propensity score matching (PSM)...For subgroup analysis, patients newly receiving anti-VEGF treatment for diabetic macular edema had significant risk (adjusted HR: 1.834; 95% CI: 1.448-2.324) of becoming dialysis-dependent, while patients in other subgroups demonstrated similar risks as the controls. In conclusion, intravitreal anti-VEGF agents might increase the risk of becoming dialysis-dependent, especially in patients who are treated for diabetic macular edema.

Observational data, Retrospective data, Journal: Long term results of three anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents in pachychoroid neovasculopathy. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 6, 2022 This is a retrospective, observational, comparative study that included 76 PNV eyes in 76 patients that were allocated to three groups according to the monotherapy injection procedure, as follows: the intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) group, intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) group, and intravitreal aflibercept (IVA) group...Patients treated with IVA required fewer injections than those treated with IVB or IVR. Furthermore, IVR and IVA treatment significantly decreased SFCT, whereas IVB did not.

Journal: One-Month Outcomes of Intravitreal Anti-VEGF vs. Dexamethasone Implant in the Treatment of Diabetic Macular Edema in Vitrectomized Eyes. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 2, 2022 To compare short-term effect of intravitreal ranibizumab with dexamethasone implant for diabetic macular edema (DME) in vitrectomized eyes...The changes of BCVA and CRT were significantly higher in IVD group than IVV group at Month1, but the changes were not significant at Week1. Comparing to anti-VEGF therapy, DEX implant is more effect in improving BCVA and reducing CRT in vitrectomized eyes at 1 month, which indicated DEX implant is a better strategy.

Retrospective data, Journal: Appropriate dose of intravitreal ranibizumab for ROP: a retrospective study. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 23, 2022 Treatment with 0.3 mg ranibizumab can reduce the recurrence rate of ROP without prolonging retinal vascularization or causing serious systemic complications. Therefore, this dose may be an appropriate therapeutic dose for ROP.

Journal: Correlation of Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography of Type 3 Macular Neovascularization With Corresponding Histology. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 22, 2022 A White woman in her 90s with type 3 neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration was treated with 37 intravitreal injections of ranibizumab and aflibercept in the right eye...OCTA decorrelation signal of type 3 neovascularization corresponded with intraretinal neovessels on histology. Projection artifact removal based on 2-dimensional vessel-shape estimation and Gaussian blur filter demonstrated their potential value for further use in OCTA decorrelation signal processing.

Journal: Rapidly dissolving bilayer microneedles enabling minimally invasive and efficient protein delivery to the posterior segment of the eye. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 22, 2022 Furthermore, ex vivo permeation studies showed that optimised MNs could permeate 86.99 ± 7.37% of OVA through the sclera, twice that of the needle-free patch (42.16 ± 3.95%), highlighting the capability of MNs to circumvent physical barriers and promote protein delivery to the posterior segment of the eye. In this work, a novel, efficient and safe intraocular protein delivery system was successfully established.

Journal: Comparison of methods for quantitative analysis of ranibizumab and bevacizumab in human plasma using various bioanalytical techniques, including microfluidic immunoassay, triple quadrupole, and high-resolution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry approaches. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 15, 2022 However, the LC-MS/MS methods were able to achieve significantly improve sensitivity, with a lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) of 0.300 ng/mL, compared to 6.00 ng/mL for the LBA, due to the reduction of interferences at lower concentrations using the LC-MS/MS technique (increased selectivity). Therefore, for this specific study, we were able to establish the correlation between methods, while also demonstrating increased value in using LC-MS/MS as an alternative approach to LBAs in bioanalysis.

Biomarker, Review, Journal: Biomarkers as Predictive Factors of Anti-VEGF Response. (Pubmed Central) - May 30, 2022 The knowledge of how a patient will respond or how frequently retreatment might be required would be vital in planning treatment schedules, saving both resource utilization and financial costs, but today, there is not an ideal biomarker to use as a predictive response to ranibizumab therapy...Moreover, the great majority of studies carried out to date were focused on the search for SNPs in genes related to AMD risk factors, but miRNAs, proteomic and metabolomics studies have rarely been conducted in anti-VEGF-treated samples. Here, we propose that genomic, proteomic and/or metabolomic markers could be used not alone but in combination with other methods, such as specific clinic characteristics, to identify patients with a poor response to anti-VEGF treatment to establish patient-specific treatment plans.
