RVO

Carl J. Danzig, MD, discusses efficacy, safety, and durability of faricimab in macular oedema due to retinal vein occlusion (RVO).

Faricimab is already approved in the EU and UK for neovascular age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema.

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis for years have worked to understand the rare condition known as retinal vasculopathy with cerebral leukoencephalopathy and systemic manifestations.

Several presentations will provide research updates on various topics related to retinal vein occlusion (RVO).

2024 is already bringing new research and insights to the forefront of retinal vein occlusion and providing new ways to consider retinal vascular health.

Research estimates that the RVO market with see a compound annual growth rate of 11.9%.

RVO can significantly reduce vision-related quality of life, particularly in more severe cases.

Central retinal artery occlusion is characterized by painless, sudden vision loss in one eye, which may be a sign of an eye stroke.

According to the company, the deals from two global Phase III RVO studies will be presented at Angiogenesis, Exudation, and Degeneration 2024.

According to Genentech, RVO is the third indication for Vabysmo, in addition to wet, or neovascular, age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema. The approval is based on two Phase III studies demonstrating early and sustained vision improvements that were non-inferior to aflibercept.

According to Roche, faricimab (Vabysmo)showed robust and sustained retinal drying up to 72 weeks and a safety profile consistent with previous studies.

Eye drops developed by Columbia University researchers could prove to be a more effective and comfortable therapy for retinal vein occlusion (RVO).

If approved, RVO would be the third indication for faricimab-svoa in addition to wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME).

A large cohort study found no association between the first messenger RNA COVID-19 vaccinations and acute retinal vein occlusions.
