The Combination OPT-302 with Aflibercept Study (COAST) evaluated sozinibercept 2 mg in combination with aflibercept 2 mg for wet age-related macular degeneration

The study demonstrated that the number of injections needed gradually decreased during the follow-up period

Inherited retinal diseases have disease processes distinct from age-related macular degeneration and geographic atrophy, but may present with "phenocopy" clinical signs

A clinician panel illuminates current treatment paradigms and best practices for reducing treatment burden

One in vitro study included in the manuscript was conducted in collaboration with researchers at the University of Southhampton in the United Kingdom

The authors evaluated shallow irregular pigment epithelial detachment, subretinal hyperreflective material, subretinal fluid, intraretinal fluid and other baseline OCT biomarkers

The implant was tested in eyes of patients with bilateral age-related macular degeneration who underwent cataract surgery

Pavblu and Skojoy, both from Amgen, are indicated for the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration

The gel addresses necrotic retinal cell death in dry age-related macular degeneration and geographic atrophy without requiring injections

The approval of Syfovre makes it the first and only approved treatment for GA in Australia.

The transferrin vectorised therapy is being investigated for use in patients with dry age-related macular degeneration and geographic atrophy

Panelists discuss how aflibercept 8 mg demonstrates improved durability and maintenance of visual gains compared with 2-mg dosing, potentially reducing treatment burden while maintaining a similar safety profile.

Panelists discuss how treat-and-extend dosing with aflibercept 2 mg allows for individualized treatment intervals while maintaining vision gains. However, optimal extension timing must be carefully determined based on disease activity markers.

Panelists discuss how aflibercept’s molecular structure contributes to its clinical efficacy as a standard treatment for retinal vascular diseases.

Panelists discuss how anti-VEGF therapies have dramatically improved visual outcomes in patients with age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema over the past decade. Key challenges persist, including treatment burden, adherence, and identifying optimal dosing regimens for individual patients.

The biosimilar to reference aflibercept (Eylea, Bayer AG) is indicated to treat retinal diseases including neovascular age-related macular degeneration

Non-invasive, painless laser can reduce risk of vision loss

A large study performed in Canada analyzed data and found that patients are at higher risk of multiple possible complications after cataract surgery.

Timothy L Jackson PhD, MB ChB, FRCOphth, speaks about a combination therapy for VEGF-A/C/D inhibition with sozinibercept and ranibizumab

The agency confirmed its June 2024 negative opinion after Apellis requested re-examination of the EMA's initial response

Research by investigators at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland shows how the gene therapy conferred significant protection for retinal ganglion cells

The biosimilar is indicated to improve and maintain visual acuity for patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration

Chase Ludwig, MD, speaks about the effect of vitrectomy on the progression of age-related macular degeneration

A novel formulation may prevent blood vessel growth and vascular leakage in the retina

Following the MAA in Europe, Altos Biologics plans to pursue approval in target markets including Korea

The drug is a biosimilar for aflibercept 2 mg (Eylea)

The flagship, light-based technology has received approval for applications in the anterior and posterior segments

The approval also grants Outlook Therapeutics an initial 10 years of market exclusivity in the EU for bevacizumab gamma (LYTENAVA)

The agency issued approval for Yesafili, from Biocon Biologics, and Opuviz, from Samsung Bioepis and Biogen

For decoding biomarkers, a multistage system is just the beginning
