Journal: A small molecular multi-targeting tyrosine kinase inhibitor, anlotinib, inhibits pathological ocular neovascularization. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 24, 2021 Furthermore, using a laser-induced choroidal neovascularization (CNV) model, we observed that the combined treatment of anlotinib and Lucentis reduced the size and thickness of CNV lesions compared to Lucentis monotherapy alone. Taken together, our results suggest that anlotinib could be a promising drug candidate for ocular neovascularization.

Clinical, Journal: Aflibercept versus Ranibizumab as a Second Line Therapy After Bevacizumab for Diabetic Macular Edema. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 22, 2021 Dry macula was noted in 1 vs 14 eyes in group R vs group A. After treating refractory DME with initial bevacizumab injections, 3 injections of either aflibercept or ranibizumab had similar anatomic and functional outcomes. Aflibercept achieved dry macula in more eyes with refractory DME compared to ranibizumab.

Review, Journal: Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy in Canada. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 17, 2021 Recent clinical trials have shown that ranibizumab in combination with PDT is superior to ranibizumab monotherapy (EVEREST II), and aflibercept monotherapy is as effective in patients meeting PDT rescue criteria as aflibercept combined with rescue PDT (PLANET). It appears that most Canadian PCV patients are treated with anti-VEGF monotherapy, with or without PDT.

Retrospective data, Journal: Ranibizumab Pro Re nata versus Dexamethasone in the Management of Ischemic Retinal Vein Occlusion: Post-hoc Analysis from the COMRADE Trials. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 11, 2021 Central RVO patients treated with dexamethasone received more laser treatments over the 6 months than those treated with ranibizumab, while there was no difference in the frequency of laser therapy between the branch RVO treatment groups. VA gain over six months in ranibizumab-treated RVO patients is not affected by ischemia, and is associated with less development of new ischemia during the first 6 months of treatment and equal or fewer laser treatments than dexamethasone implant.

Retrospective data, Journal: A Meta-Analysis of Cardiovascular Events Associated with Intravitreal Anti-VEGF Treatment in Patients with Retinal Vein Occlusion. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 11, 2021 VA gain over six months in ranibizumab-treated RVO patients is not affected by ischemia, and is associated with less development of new ischemia during the first 6 months of treatment and equal or fewer laser treatments than dexamethasone implant. Intravitreal administration of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor did not significantly increase the risks of cardiovascular events, hypertension or heart rate disorders in retinal vein occlusion patients.

Clinical, Journal: A case of late-onset larynx angioedema after ranibizumab intravitreal injection: Ranibizumab-related angioedema. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 9, 2021 In occasion of the second intravitreal injection, video rhinofibrolaryngoscopy revealed subglottic edema that resolved within few hours by betamethasone 4 mg intramuscular injection. This report suggests that, even in cases of intravitreal injection, patients with history of allergy, despite the anti-allergic treatment, should be hospitalized to detect late onset of such a life-threatening complication.

Biomarker, Clinical, Journal: Pre-therapeutic Biomarkers for Ranibizumab Therapy among Type 2 Diabetic Patients with Diabetic Macular Edema. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 7, 2021 The simultaneous addition of DEX implant at any time during the three monthly loading doses of ranibizumab in patients with DMO significantly improved the visual outcomes and revealed superior anatomic outcomes than those with the ranibizumab monotherapy. The present study postulates that diffuse diabetic macular edema with proliferative diabetic retinopathy and baseline circulatory soluble VEGF receptor 2 may be potential candidates as therapy-stratifying markers for ranibizumab treatment among patients with diabetic macular edema.

Journal: Human Platelets Take up Anti-VEGF Agents. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 6, 2021 Clathrin-coated vesicles seem to be more prominent in the transport of bevacizumab than ranibizumab and aflibercept. Nevertheless, whether the different localization and transport of bevacizumab are truly related to specific differences of receptor-mediated endocytosis has to be revealed by further research.

Clinical, Retrospective data, Journal: Comparison of the effects of intravitreal ranibizumab and aflibercept on retinal vessel diameters in patients with diabetic macular edema. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 2, 2021 Thick baseline SCT might be a predictive sign for better treatment outcomes in BRVO ME patients which are thought to be related to a higher level of intraocular inflammatory cytokines in these patients. Both intravitreal ranibizumab and aflibercept agents cause a significant narrowing in the retinal vessel diameters in patients with DME after three loading doses at monthly intervals.

Journal: Switch to aflibercept in the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration: 30-month results. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 1, 2021 Both intravitreal ranibizumab and aflibercept agents cause a significant narrowing in the retinal vessel diameters in patients with DME after three loading doses at monthly intervals. Patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration who were switched to intravitreal aflibercept treatment due to unresponsiveness to intravitreal ranibizumab exhibited a significant anatomic improvement in the retina, and although this state persisted, there was no significant functional gain.

(Pubmed Central) - Jun 30, 2021 A PK model simulated Cvm after single-dose IVT-AFL, IVT-BRO, and ranibizumab (IVT-RAN), and extrapolated intraocular VEGF-suppression thresholds and durations...The PK-modeled mean VEGF-suppression duration for IVT-BRO was substantially shorter than that published for IVT-AFL and may not be sufficient to effectively suppress VEGF throughout q12w dosing. The PK modeling suggests that more patients may be maintained on ≥q12w dosing with IVT-AFL than with IVT-BRO.

The method could be used to create a virtual ranibizumab treatment arm in clinical trials or to reduce the size of a ranibizumab active control arm.
