Diabetic macular edema (DMO) is a leading cause of blindness in the working age population. Although anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy provided a major advance in treatment of DMO for many patients, there is a significant proportion of patients who maintain persistent DMO and have minimal response to anti-VEGF treatment. Iluvien (fluocinolone acetonide 0.19 mg [FAc]) is an important additional treatment option for DMO. In this review we describe the clinical context and the evidence for the use of the FAc implant in treating DMO, from pilot to randomized controlled studies, to later phase real world data. These studies indicate that the FAc implant is effective, well tolerated and a cost-effective option in the treatment of insufficiently responsive DMO.
糖尿病性黄斑水肿(DMO)是劳动年龄人群失明的主要原因。尽管抗血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)疗法在许多患者的DMO治疗中取得了重大进展,但仍有相当一部分患者的DMO持续存在,且对抗VEGF治疗反应甚微。Iluvien(醋酸氟轻松0.19毫克[FAc])是DMO的一种重要的额外治疗选择。在本综述中,我们描述了从试点研究到随机对照研究,再到后期阶段真实世界数据的临床背景以及使用FAc植入物治疗DMO的证据。这些研究表明,FAc植入物在治疗反应不足的DMO方面是有效的、耐受性良好且具有成本效益的选择。
