Clinical trials have established the efficacy of ranibizumab for treatment neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). In addition, bevacizumab is used off-label to treat AMD, despite absence similar supporting data.In a multicenter, single-blind, noninferiority trial, we randomly assigned 1208 patients with AMD receive intravitreal injections or on either monthly schedule as needed evaluation. The primary outcome was mean change in visual acuity at 1 year, limit 5 letters eye...
<h3>Purpose</h3> Two similarly designed phase 3 trials (HAWK and HARRIER) compared brolucizumab, a single-chain antibody fragment that inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor-A, with aflibercept to treat neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). <h3>Design</h3> Double-masked, multicenter, active-controlled, randomized trials. <h3>Participants</h3> Patients (N = 1817) untreated, active choroidal neovascularization due in the study eye. <h3>Intervention</h3> were intravitreal...
To establish a process to evaluate and standardize state-of-the-art nomenclature for reporting neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) data.
Patients with noninfectious uveitis are at risk for long-term complications of uncontrolled inflammation, as well the adverse effects glucocorticoid therapy. We conducted a trial to assess efficacy and safety adalimumab glucocorticoid-sparing agent treatment uveitis.This multinational phase 3 involved adults who had active intermediate uveitis, posterior or panuveitis despite having received prednisone 2 more weeks. Investigators patients were unaware study-group assignments. randomly...
<h3>Purpose</h3> The complement pathway may play a key role in the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). safety and efficacy avacincaptad pegol (Zimura, IVERIC bio Inc, New York, NY), C5 inhibitor, were assessed participants with geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to AMD (GATHER1 Study). <h3>Design</h3> International, prospective, randomized, double-masked, sham-controlled, pivotal phase 2/3 clinical trial. <h3>Participants</h3> A total 286 GA AMD. <h3>Main Outcome...
PurposeTo report the 96-week outcomes from HAWK and HARRIER.DesignPhase 3, prospective, randomized, double-masked, multicenter studies comparing efficacy safety of brolucizumab 3 mg (HAWK only) 6 with aflibercept 2 in eyes neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).ParticipantsTreatment-naïve nAMD were randomized 1:1:1 to (n = 358), 360), 360; HAWK) or 1:1 370), 369; HARRIER).MethodsAfter monthly loading doses, patients received every (q)-12-week (w) dosing, possibly adjusting q8w...
An independent Safety Review Committee (SRC), supported by Novartis Pharma AG, analyzed investigator-reported cases of intraocular inflammation (IOI), endophthalmitis, and retinal arterial occlusion in the phase 3 HAWK HARRIER trials brolucizumab versus aflibercept neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).A post hoc analysis a subset data from two 2-year, double-masked, multicenter, active-controlled randomized (NCT02307682, NCT02434328).Patients (N = 1817) with untreated, active...
There is no treatment available for vision loss associated with advanced dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or geographic atrophy (GA). In a pilot, proof of concept phase 2 study, we evaluated ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) delivered via an intraocular encapsulated cell technology implant the GA. We designed multicenter, 1-y, double-masked, sham-controlled dose-ranging study. Patients GA were randomly assigned to receive high-or low-dose sham surgery. The primary endpoint was...
