Optimal approaches and criteria to treat-and-extend regimen implementation for Neovascular age-related macular degeneration: experts consensus in Taiwan

Cheng-Kuo Cheng et al.

Summary: The treat-and-extend approach with anti-VEGF agents is an effective strategy to manage neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), aiming to maximize visual acuity benefits while minimizing treatment burden. Treatment intervals can be extended or shortened based on patient response, and discontinuation of treatment with regular monitoring may be considered for stable disease.

Aflibercept for age-related macular degeneration: 4-year outcomes of a 'treat-and-extend' regimen with exit-strategy

Damian Jaggi et al.

Summary: The long-term outcomes of treating patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) using a treat-and-extend (T&E) regimen were reported. The results showed that the initial increase in visual acuity was maintained over a period of 4 years without the need for an initial loading phase. The treatment intervals could also be extended, and the functional outcomes were comparable to those of large controlled studies.

Four-year outcomes of aflibercept treatment for neovascular age-related macular degeneration: Results from real-life setting

Marko Lukic et al.

Summary: The study found that good long-term morphological and functional treatment outcomes can be achieved using intravitreal aflibercept for nAMD in a real-life clinical setting, with a mean number of injections received over 4 years of 19.3 and significant improvements in visual acuity and macular thickness observed over the 4-year follow-up period.

Imaging Biomarkers and Their Impact on Therapeutic Decision-Making in the Management of Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration

David T. Wong et al.

Summary: These recommendations by Canadian retina experts aim to assist healthcare professionals in managing neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) by providing updated practice principles for optimal patient care, emphasizing timely and appropriate treatment. Additionally, the importance of monitoring retinal fluid and early elimination of intraretinal fluid for prognostic purposes in the context of nAMD is highlighted.

EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF INTRAVITREAL AFLIBERCEPT USING A TREAT-AND-EXTEND REGIMEN FOR NEOVASCULAR AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION The ARIES Study: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Paul Mitchell et al.

Summary: The study compared the efficacy of early-start vs. late-start intravitreal aflibercept treat-and-extend (T&E) regimens in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration. The outcomes showed similar visual and anatomical results between the two groups over a two-year period, with only one injection difference.
