Increasing aflibercept dose for longer drug duration in eyes.
- A deep dive into how increasing aflibercept dose improves drug durability in the eye
- Modeling suggests slower ocular clearance with higher dose of aflibercept
Drug half-life and dosing for anti-VEGF treatments in ophthalmology.
- How the half-life of aflibercept is determined in the eye using PK sampling and modeling
- Highlights of studies include dose regimen modifications and durability of drug in second year
Accelerating aflibercept dosing intervals for wet AMD patients.
- Designing clinical studies translating the "treat and extend" approach to the real world
- Potential benefits of longer-acting eye medication, including increased efficiency and reduced burden on healthcare providers
- Potential biomarkers that indicate a need for frequent VEGF injections in wet AMD patients
- Emphasising the importance of early treatment with the strongest medication for type three lesions to prevent permanent vision loss
