Anti-VEGF induces regression of diabetic retinopathy in high-risk populace
September 15th 2016When followed over time, about 75% of patients in the RIDE/RISE trials who had the highest risk of progression to proliferative diabetic retinopathy benefited from ranibizumab with “robust” regression of diabetic retinopathy severity levels.
CATT follow-up explores long-term outcomes with anti-VEGF in AMD
September 15th 2016The Comparison of Age-related Macular Degeneration Treatment Trial (CATT) follow-up study found that the initial gains in visual acuity achieved with two anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drugs were lower than those achieved at the end of the 2-year CATT study.
Handheld device offers early screening of amblyopia
September 15th 2016A new handheld pediatric vision scanner can detect amblyopia and strabismus with over 90% accuracy. The device can be used to screen children too young to read or recognize letters as well as those of school age since the only requirements are to sit still for a few seconds and look at a smiley-face target in the machine.
Systemic implications highlighted in retinal tumor findings
September 14th 2016Retinal tumors have taken on a new importance because of links to systemic disease, according to Carol Shields, MD. Through these links, specialists are improving the diagnosis and treatment of retinal tumors. Dr. Shields highlighted astrocytic hamartoma, retinoblastoma, and retinal capillary hemangiomoblastoma.
Biosimilar for ranibizumab clears hurdles in India
August 24th 2016Intas Pharmaceuticals of Ahmedabad, India, seems to have overcome the manufacturing problems that led to ocular inflammation in 10% of the patients injected with the first three batches of razumab, a biosimilar for ranibizumab, according to two ophthalmologists who have administered the drug.
Long-term efficacy for DME with fewer injections? Yes, please!
August 20th 2016As a physician passionate about treating and helping patients with retinal disease, I continuously seek out and study new treatment modalities. It can be a very scary time for patients when faced with retinal conditions, such as macular degeneration, retinal detachments, and diabetic macular edema (DME).
Gene-based treatment provides sustained AMD therapy
July 1st 2016The first clinical trial of lentiviral gene therapy in ophthalmology met its primary objective, demonstrating safety and tolerability of subretinal administration of a lentiviral vector expressing anti-angiogenic proteins in patients with advanced exudative age-related macular degeneration.
Gene therapy in RPE65 trial offers promise for improved vision
June 13th 2016The first randomized, controlled phase III gene therapy trial that is investigating treatment with adeno-associated viral vector delivery of human RPE65 in patients with RPE65 mutation-associated inherited retinal dystrophies is discussed.
Sonepcizumab combination therapy may offer long-term visual acuity stabilization
June 13th 2016Sonepcizumab alone or in combination with anti-VEGF does not provide any short-term benefit to the visual acuity in patients with wet AMD, who were considered to be subresponders to anti-VEGF therapy. However, a combination of therapies may have different results.
