Outbreak of Acute and Subacute Post-Injection Endophthalmitis caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (F0235) - Apr 29, 2022 - Abstract #ARVO2022ARVO_2888; Important insights can be made into the atypical presentation and disease course to help guide future management. Unlike other cases of bacterial PIE, Pseudomonas persists within the eye despite intravitreal antibiotic injections with adequate coverage.

Intravitreal injection dead volume varies significantly with different forces applied to TB, ranibizumab, and aflibercept syringes ([Virtual]) - Apr 29, 2022 - Abstract #ARVO2022ARVO_2885; Under the same conditions, the TB syringe expressed only 0.8% more volume. Design elements of the syringes, including the domed shape, compressibility of the stopper, short push length, and large diameter of the plunger likely account for the differences.

Ranibizumab and Regulation of Vascular Endothelial Cell Growth Factor Family Members in Patients with Diabetic Macular Edema (F0315) - Apr 29, 2022 - Abstract #ARVO2022ARVO_2764; Ranibizumab treatment affected production of individual VEGF family members and altered specific pro-inflammatory signaling pathways that are seemingly linked to these differing VEGFs. Thus, new drug development focusing on targeting specific VEGF family members or, alternatively, the pro-inflammatory pathways connected to these family members could improve treatment of patients with diabetic macular edema and/or allow for a more personalized treatment approach.

Larger studies of dual inhibition of VEGF-C/-D and VEGF-A for the treatment of PCV are warranted.

RO-634 half-life as compared to published data on Aflibercept, Faricimab, Ranibizumab, and Bevacizumab. (F0111) - Apr 29, 2022 - Abstract #ARVO2022ARVO_2549; Given RO-634’s excellent half-life and novel dual-inhibitory mechanism of action, we propose that this protein is a possible therapeutic candidate for exudative AMD, DME, and PDR. We are hopeful that future studies will continue to shed light on RO-634s safety and efficacy in both animal and human models.

MFAP4 reduces vascular leakage in a Rabbit Model of Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV) (F0104) - Apr 29, 2022 - Abstract #ARVO2022ARVO_2541; Using MFAP4 as alternative target to VEGF could be used as novel strategy, particularly in patients who respond poorly to anti-VEGF treatments. Layman Abstract: A proportion of patients with wet age related macular degeneeration do not respond, or stop responding, to treatemtn by intr-aocular injection of anti-VEGF agents like Lucentis or Eyelea.

Real-World Evidence (RWE) Registries () - Apr 29, 2022 - Abstract #ARVO2022ARVO_2525; Speakers Nicole Eter: Anti-VEGF treatment obtained in the OREGIS registry Daniel Barthelmes: 12-month outcomes of ranibizumab versus aflibercept for macular oedema in central retinal vein occlusion: data from the FRB!...The aim of the symposium is to show the possibilities of RWE registries for health services research. With the help of RWE registries prevalences and incidences of diseases can be shown, comorbidities can be identified and therapy regimens as well as long-term safety of therapeutics can be investigated.

Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) signaling and vascular stability with faricimab in diabetic macular edema (DME) ([Virtual]) - Apr 29, 2022 - Abstract #ARVO2022ARVO_1295; P2, P3 Furthermore, dual Ang-2/VEGF-A blockade with faricimab promoted SRS in BOULEVARD and improved DME disease control in YOSEMITE/RHINE. These data support the role of Ang-2 in vascular stability and the potential for dual Ang-2/VEGF-A inhibition with faricimab to improve outcomes in patients with DME over anti-VEGF alone.

Suprachoroidal Delivery of RGX-314 Gene Therapy for Neovascular AMD: The Phase II AAVIATE™ Study (205/207) - Apr 29, 2022 - Abstract #ARVO2022ARVO_842; 20 patients in Cohort 1 and 20 patients in Cohort 2 were randomized to receive RGX-314 at a dose level of 2.5x1011 and 5x1011 genomic copies per eye (GC/eye), respectively, versus monthly 0.5 mg ranibizumab intravitreal injection at a 3:1 ratio. Suprachoroidal RGX-314 has the potential to provide sustained clinical improvements in the treatment of nAMD with a one-time in-office treatment.

Journal: The effects of subconjunctival bevacizumab, ranibizumab, and aflibercept on corneal neovascularization. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 26, 2022 Subconjunctival bevacizumab, ranibizumab, and aflibercept crossed the blood and seemed to be effective in inhibiting corneal neovascularization without causing epitheliopathy in an experimental rat model compared to the controls. However, no significant results were noted between these three anti-VEGF molecules.

(Pubmed Central) - Apr 21, 2022 By 100 weeks, more eyes treated with bevacizumab had persistently wet macula than those treated with aflibercept (26 of 140 [18.6%] vs 7 of 134 [5.2%]; difference, 13.3%; 95% CI, 5.9 to 20.8; P < .001) or ranibizumab (11 of 137 [8%]; difference, 10.5%; 95% CI, 2.7 to 18.4; P = .01). These findings suggest that attempts should be made to maintain persistently fluid-free macula for optimal visual acuity outcomes.

Journal, HEOR: Opportunities to Reduce Potential Bias in Ophthalmic Cost-Utility Analysis. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 20, 2022 This economic evaluation predominantly used data from the Center for Value-Based Medicine database to perform preference-based comparative effectiveness and cost-utility analyses for cataract surgery and intravitreal ranibizumab therapy for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (NVAMD) using vision utilities acquired from patients with ophthalmic disease (ophthalmic patient utilities) and from surrogate individuals (nonophthalmic patient vision utilities) with and without integrating systemic comorbidity utility limits on vision utility gain...Ophthalmologists should realize these phenomena and consider correcting the potential discrimination against disabled, elderly, and African American populations. This negative potential bias could theoretically result in beneficial intervention denial, less research dollars, curbed therapeutic advances, and decreased interventional reimbursement.

Observational data, Retrospective data, Journal, HEOR: Retrospective Analysis of the Pharmaco-Utilization of VEGF Inhibitors and Health Care Costs among Patients with Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration and Other Ocular Diseases in Italy. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 19, 2022 Across January 2010-December 2017, patients aged ≥50 years with a prescription of intravitreal anti-VEGFs were included as "wAMD" patients [by wAMD hospitalization or intravitreal injections] or as "other ocular diseases" patients [by hospitalization for other ocular disorders or intravitreal injections, with concomitant diabetes diagnosis or dexamethasone treatment]...Overall, 3879 patients were included; at index-date, 82.2% were treated with Ranibizumab, 15.8% with Aflibercept, and 2% with Pegaptanib...During the follow-up, the mean/annual anti-VEGF prescription [3.3 (first-year)-0.5 (third-year)] and the total cost [7196.83 € (first-year)-5162.68 € (third-year)] decreased. This observational study highlighted a decline in anti-VEGF prescriptions over time in both cohorts, suggesting a trend of under-treatment that could worsen the patients' clinical outcomes and increase health care resource consumption.
