Two drugs better than one in DME therapy?
July 25th 2018A phase II clinical trial evaluating suprachoroidal CLS-TA used with intravitreally administered aflibercept in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) over a 6-month evaluation period-has met both primary and secondary endpoints of vision and anatomic improvement.
The time has come for gene therapy to treat retinal disease, AMD
March 26th 2018With the first ocular gene therapy approved in the United States, Szilard Kiss, MD, points out that the gene therapy era for retinal disease has arrived, “and hopefully it will arrive for age-related macular degeneration.”
PALADIN subset finds improvement after 12 months with intravitreal implant
March 16th 2018Among a subset of patients in the phase IV PALADIN study, there was improved visual acuity, improved macular thickness, and reduced treatment burden among patients treated with the intravitreal fluocinolone acetonide 0.2 µg (Iluvien implant) for DME.
Does dexamethasone implant add benefit in ranibizumab patients?
March 12th 2018The addition of dexamethasone implant (Ozurdex, Allergan) to a continuing regimen of ranibizumab (Lucentis, Genentech) did not produce results in visual acuity outcomes that differed from those achieved with ranibizumab alone at 6 months. However, there was an improvement in the central macular thickness on OCT in patients.
These novel strategies may change DME treatment paradigm
February 19th 2018There is subset of patients with resistant or persistent DME that forms the impetus for new treatment strategies, including next-generation anti-VEGF-A and new classes of drugs. Pravin U. Dugel, MD, outlines a list of potential treatment candidates that may lead that paradigm shift.
Suprachoroidal corticosteroid shows visual, anatomic improvements in DME eyes
January 11th 2018Suprachoroidal triamcinolone acetonide (CLS-TA, Clearside Biomedical) injection resulted in visual and anatomic improvements in eyes with diabetic macular edema, particularly in those that were treatment-naïve. Multiple injections of the investigational treatment were well-tolerated and associated with a low incidence of IOP elevation.
