To evaluate the response of intravitreal aflibercept injection (IAI) in eyes with detachment of retinal pigment epithelium (DEP) secondary to nAMD refractory to monthly ranibizumab.
This is a retrospective, multicenter study. All patients received 3 IAI then treated as needed every 4 weeks for 12 months. During the second year, the eyes were treated with a treat- and-extend regimen.
Forty-four eyes were included. Best-corrected visual acuity improved significantly after the loading phase (3.1 ± 6.4 letters) and at 6 months (2.8 ± 6.4 letters), but change was not significant at 1 year and 2 years. The height of the DEP was significantly decreased at 3 months and 6 months, but the difference did not reach statistical difference at 1 and 2 years. Rate of eyes with complete resolution of exudation was 59% after the loading phase and 34.3% at 2 years. Mean interval of anti-VEGF injection was extended from 31 ± 2.6 days to 61 ± 5 days after conversion.
Aflibercept intravitreal injection in patients with fibrovascular DEP due to nAMD who respond poorly to monthly ranibizumab led to short-term functional and anatomical improvement. Reduction of intravitreal injection frequency was obtained until 2 years of follow-up.
评估玻璃体内注射阿柏西普(IAI)对继发于湿性年龄相关性黄斑变性(nAMD)且每月注射雷珠单抗效果不佳的视网膜色素上皮脱离(DEP)患者的疗效。
这是一项回顾性多中心研究。所有患者均接受3次IAI治疗,然后根据需要每4周治疗一次,持续12个月。在第二年,采用治疗并延长方案对眼睛进行治疗。
共纳入44只眼。在负荷期后(提高3.1±6.4个字母)和6个月时(提高2.8±6.4个字母),最佳矫正视力有显著改善,但在1年和2年时变化不显著。DEP的高度在3个月和6个月时显著降低,但在1年和2年时差异无统计学意义。负荷期后渗出完全消退的眼的比例为59%,2年时为34.3%。转换后抗VEGF注射的平均间隔时间从31±2.6天延长至61±5天。
对于因nAMD导致纤维血管性DEP且每月注射雷珠单抗反应不佳的患者,玻璃体内注射阿柏西普可带来短期的功能和解剖学改善。在长达2年的随访中,玻璃体内注射频率降低。
