Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy: An Update on Diagnosis and Treatment

Parveen Sen et al.

Summary: Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is a vascular disease that leads to macular degeneration and vision loss. Non-invasive OCT criteria have shown reliable results for planning PDT treatment. Anti-VEGF monotherapy and its combination with PDT have been proven effective but pose challenges due to follow-up frequency and availability issues. Longer acting molecules like brolucizumab and newer therapies like Faricimab offer potential solutions to address these challenges.

The real-world efficacy and safety of faricimab in neovascular age-related macular degeneration: the TRUCKEE study-6 month results

Arshad M. Khanani et al.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed real-world patients receiving faricimab for the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). The results showed that faricimab can improve or maintain visual acuity and rapidly improve anatomical parameters. It was well-tolerated with a low incidence of treatable intraocular inflammation.

Efficacy, durability, and safety of faricimab up to every 16 weeks in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration: 1-year results from the Japan subgroup of the phase 3 TENAYA trial

Ryusaburo Mori et al.

Summary: This article evaluated the 1-year efficacy, durability, and safety of faricimab compared to aflibercept in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) in the Japan subgroup of the TENAYA trial. The study showed that both faricimab and aflibercept had similar improvements in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) with adjusted mean BCVA changes of +7.1 and +7.7 letters, respectively. The use of faricimab every 16 weeks in the Japanese patients demonstrated sustained efficacy and an acceptable safety profile.

Efficacy, durability, and safety of intravitreal faricimab up to every 16 weeks for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (TENAYA and LUCERNE): two randomised, double-masked, phase 3, non-inferiority trials

Jeffrey S. Heier et al.

Summary: The primary results of two Phase 3 trials show that faricimab can effectively improve visual acuity for patients with nAMD at intervals of up to 16 weeks, with comparable safety profile to aflibercept. This suggests that faricimab has the potential to reduce treatment burden by extending the time between injections while maintaining efficacy.

Evolving treatment paradigms for PCV

Beau J. Fenner et al.

Summary: PCV, a subtype of nAMD, is common in Asia and worldwide. Current treatment strategies involve anti-VEGF therapy and photodynamic therapy, but the optimal treatment approach and interval are unclear. New imaging modalities offer potential for guiding treatment initiation and re-treatment.

Global Incidence, Progression, and Risk Factors of Age-Related Macular Degeneration and Projection of Disease Statistics in 30 Years: A Modeling Study

Yuye Wang et al.

Summary: AMD has become a major cause of visual impairment worldwide, especially in the elderly population. Smoking is identified as an independent risk factor for both early and late AMD, while age, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and alcohol consumption are associated with early AMD incidence. The epidemiological estimates could inform effective strategies for preventing AMD globally.

Intravitreal Faricimab for Aflibercept-Resistant Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Ryan B. Rush et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the short-term effects of intravitreal faricimab (IVF) in patients with treatment-resistant neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) previously treated with intravitreal aflibercept (IVA). The results showed that IVF can improve visual and anatomic outcomes in a significant minority of patients.

Diabetic Macular Edema: Current Understanding, Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Implications

Jingfa Zhang et al.

Summary: Diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema are major causes of vision loss and blindness in working-age adults, with Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) playing a key role in their pathogenesis. Intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF agents is the main treatment for DME, but not all patients respond well to this therapy.

Faricimab for Treatment-Resistant Diabetic Macular Edema

Ryan B. Rush et al.

Summary: This study retrospectively assessed the short-term outcomes of switching from intravitreal aflibercept (IVA) to intravitreal faricimab (IVF) in treatment-resistant diabetic macular edema (DME) patients. The results showed that IVF can improve the visual and anatomical outcomes in a significant minority of DME patients who were previously managed with IVA. Longer follow-up is needed to determine if these improvements can be maintained.

Visual acuity outcomes and anti-VEGF therapy intensity in diabetic macular oedema: a real-world analysis of 28 658 patient eyes

Thomas A. Ciulla et al.

Summary: The study evaluated visual acuity outcomes and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatment intensity in diabetic macular oedema (DMO) patients. Patients with better baseline visual acuity may experience loss of vision at 1 year, while those with moderately severe baseline impairment could improve with more injections. Visual outcomes are correlated with treatment intensity at 1 year.

Nonadherence or Nonpersistence to Intravitreal Injection Therapy for Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration A Mixed-Methods Systematic Review

Mali Okada et al.

Summary: Nonadherence and nonpersistence significantly impact the treatment outcomes for patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), necessitating further research to clarify contributing factors and improvement strategies. There is significant variation in definitions and rates of nonadherence and nonpersistence, with moderate certainty results highlighting some relevant factors. Factors such as treatment condition, baseline vision, and treatment response may influence nonadherence and nonpersistence.
