Journal: Anti-VEGF therapy for age-related macular degeneration (Pubmed Central) - Jul 19, 2019 Preoperative high IOP combined with RVO, severe PDR, no postoperative intravitreal injection of ranibizumab (IVR), and higher HbA1c levels are significant predictors of NVG after vitrectomy. Aflibercept can be used as the first choice drug in the treatment of nAMD for it improves the anatomical parameters of the retina and the visual functions.

Journal: Safety of anti-VEGF treatments in a diabetic rat model and retinal cell culture. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 18, 2019 ...Rats were also injected with the clinical dose of ranibizumab...Anti-VEGF treatment may be potentially detrimental to the retina by decreasing cellular metabolic activity and increasing cytotoxicity of retinal cells. The results provide a cautionary note to monitor both the retina and optic nerve status in patients undergoing frequent injections.

Journal: Soluble Tei2 fusion protein inhibits retinopathy of prematurity occurrence via regulation of the Ang/Tie2 pathway. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 3, 2019 ...Next, mice were randomly assigned into the PBS, soluble TEK receptor tyrosine kinase (sTie2)-fusion protein (Fc), angiopoietin 1 (Ang1), ranibizumab, ranibizumab + sTie2-Fc and ranibizumab + Ang1 treatment groups...In conclusion, the combined regulation of the Ang/Tie2 and the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/VEGF receptor pathways markedly increased the efficacy of treatment with retinal neovascularization (RNV). Regulation of these pathways has a potential for treating RNV, in particular ROP.

Clinical, Reimbursement, Journal, Medicare: Estimating Medicare and patient savings from the use of bevacizumab for the treatment of exudative age-related macular degeneration. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 30, 2019 The cost savings from the use of bevacizumab from 2008-2015 for Medicare fee-for-service patients undergoing treatment for exudative AMD was estimated at $17.3 billion. Additional savings over the $17.3 billion would have accrued from the use of bevacizumab if diagnostic categories such as diabetic macular edema and retinal vein occlusion were included in this study.

(Pubmed Central) - Jun 30, 2019 Additional savings over the $17.3 billion would have accrued from the use of bevacizumab if diagnostic categories such as diabetic macular edema and retinal vein occlusion were included in this study. DME patients receiving anti-VEGF therapy in clinical practice undergo less frequent monitoring and intravitreal injections, and achieve inferior vision outcomes to patients in landmark clinical trials.

Retrospective data, Journal: Comparison of subfoveal choroidal thickness in eyes with CRVO and BRVO. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 30, 2019 The SFCT in eyes with ME secondary to CRVO and BRVO was significantly thicker than that in fellow eyes, and decreased significantly within a short time in response to a single IVR injection. In further, the study showed that SFCT and SFCT change had no correlation with RVO subtypes.

Journal: ALLERGIC REACTION UPON INTRAVITREAL ADMINISTRATION OF ANTI-VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR AGENTS. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 26, 2019 Bevacizumab and ranibizumab are derivatives of murine monoclonal antibodies, whereas pegaptanib is an aptamer and aflibercept is a fusion protein of human origin. These chemical origins may allow patients to receive pegaptanib or aflibercept despite having allergy to bevacizumab or ranibizumab.

Journal: Polymeric, injectable, intravitreal hydrogel devices for posterior segment applications and interventions. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 22, 2019 This review will focus on the various biodegradable and non-biodegradable injectable intravitreal polymeric hydrogel devices, such as poly(ethylene glycol), poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid), silica, hyaluronic acid/dextran, silk, chitosan/alginate and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-based polymers, their compositions as well as the effects and results of these polymeric components on the device as a whole. Furthermore, it will briefly discuss therapeutic agents used in these devices, such as ranibizumab, dexamethasone, Avastin/bevacizumab and aflibercept, and a potential way forward by employing intelligent polymeric systems.

Clinical, Journal: Patient-reported outcomes in the RELIGHT clinical trial of ranibizumab in diabetic macular oedema. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 11, 2019 Although ranibizumab treatment in DMO over an 18-month period resulted in improvements in visual functioning and patient satisfaction, no correlation was found between the instruments used to measure these outcomes. Our finding of a lack of correlation between BCVA and the MacTSQ suggests the presence of psychophysical factors not measured by traditional means.
