To examine the impact of intravitreal ranibizumab on patient-reported visual function using the 25-item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI VFQ-25) through 6 months in patients with macular edema (ME) secondary to branch or central retinal vein occlusion (RVO).
Two multicenter, double-masked trials, which enrolled participants with ME secondary to branch or central RVO: the RanibizumaB for the Treatment of Macular Edema following BRAnch Retinal Vein Occlusion: Evaluation of Efficacy and Safety (BRAVO) trial or the Central Retinal Vein OcclUsIon Study: Evaluation of Efficacy and Safety (CRUISE) trial.
Three hundred ninety-seven BRAVO and 392 CRUISE patients.
Patients were randomized 1:1:1 to monthly sham, 0.3-mg, or 0.5-mg injections of ranibizumab for 6 months.
Although visual acuity was the main outcome measure for the trials, mean change from baseline in NEI VFQ-25 scores at month 6 was a secondary outcome measure.
In BRAVO, among the 132, 134, and 131 patients randomized, respectively, to sham, 0.3 mg ranibizumab, or 0.5 mg ranibizumab, the study eye was the worse-seeing eye in 121 (91.7%), 118 (88.1%), and 125 (95.4%) patients and 123 (93.2%), 128 (95.5%), and 125 (95.4%), respectively, had a 6-month follow-up visit. In CRUISE, among the 130, 132, and 130 patients randomized, respectively, to sham, 0.3 mg ranibizumab, and 0.5 mg ranibizumab, the study eye was the worse-seeing eye in 117 (90.0%), 123 (93.2%), and 120 (92.3%) patients and 115 (88.5%), 129 (97.7%), and 119 (91.5%), respectively, had a 6-month follow-up visit. In both trials, patients treated with ranibizumab reported greater mean improvements in visual function, with substantial differences observed as early as month 1, including the NEI VFQ-25 composite score and near and distance activities subscales, compared with sham patients. P values for comparisons with sham for the composite score and these 2 subscales were <0.05.
These results from the BRAVO and CRUISE trials indicate that patients with ME from RVOs treated with monthly ranibizumab report greater improvements in vision-related function compared with sham-treated patients through 6 months, even when a majority of patients present with RVOs in the worse-seeing eye.
通过 6 个月的随访,使用 25 项国家眼科研究所视觉功能问卷(NEI VFQ-25)评估分支或中央视网膜静脉阻塞(RVO)继发黄斑水肿(ME)患者接受玻璃体内雷珠单抗治疗后患者报告的视觉功能。
两项多中心、双盲试验,纳入了分支或中央 RVO 继发 ME 的患者:分支视网膜静脉阻塞治疗中雷珠单抗的疗效和安全性评估(BRAVO)试验或中央视网膜静脉阻塞研究:评估疗效和安全性(CRUISE)试验。
BRAVO 试验有 397 例患者,CRUISE 试验有 392 例患者。
患者以 1:1:1 的比例随机接受每月 sham 治疗、0.3mg 雷珠单抗或 0.5mg 雷珠单抗治疗,持续 6 个月。
尽管视力是试验的主要结局指标,但 6 个月时 NEI VFQ-25 评分的平均变化是次要结局指标。
在 BRAVO 试验中,分别有 132、134 和 131 例患者随机接受 sham 治疗、0.3mg 雷珠单抗或 0.5mg 雷珠单抗治疗,研究眼为较差眼的患者分别有 121 例(91.7%)、118 例(88.1%)和 125 例(95.4%),分别有 123 例(93.2%)、128 例(95.5%)和 125 例(95.4%)接受了 6 个月的随访。在 CRUISE 试验中,分别有 130、132 和 130 例患者随机接受 sham 治疗、0.3mg 雷珠单抗和 0.5mg 雷珠单抗治疗,研究眼为较差眼的患者分别有 117 例(90.0%)、123 例(93.2%)和 120 例(92.3%),分别有 115 例(88.5%)、129 例(97.7%)和 119 例(91.5%)接受了 6 个月的随访。在两项试验中,与 sham 治疗组相比,接受雷珠单抗治疗的患者报告视觉功能有更大的平均改善,从第 1 个月就观察到明显的差异,包括 NEI VFQ-25 综合评分以及近距和远距活动子量表。与 sham 治疗相比,这些子量表的复合评分的 P 值均<0.05。
来自 BRAVO 和 CRUISE 试验的这些结果表明,接受每月雷珠单抗治疗的 RVO 继发 ME 患者报告的视力相关功能改善程度优于 sham 治疗组,持续至 6 个月,即使大多数患者的较差眼存在 RVO。
