Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this retrospective single-center chat review is to establish the efficacy and safety of a single dose of intravitreal faricimab (Vabysmo®) injection in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD), who were previously treated with aflibercept (Eylea®) and had persisting intraretinal or subretinal fluid despite frequent treatments.

Patients

Patients who received intravitreal faricimab injections between May and September, in 2023. and conform the inclusion/exclusion criteria.

Faricimab

Intervention Type DRUG

The Injections were performed according to local standard protocol, that included the use of 2-3 drops of topical tetracaine anesthesia, use of eye speculum, topical 5% povidone-iodine disinfection, a 30G-needle, injection site 3.5 mm posterior from the limbus marked by calipers in supertemporal or inferotemporal quadrants, a sterile cotton tip tamponade at the site of injection after removal of the needle, and no post-procedure antibiotics.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Presence of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in the study eye
* \>50 years of age
* Previous intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment with aflibercept (Eylea®) or with aflibercept and ranibizumab (Lucentis®) in the study eye
* Minimum of 6 monthly aflibercept injections
* Persisting intraretinal or subretinal fluid or both, despite at least 3 consecutive monthly aflibercept injections in the study eye before switching to faricimab

Exclusion Criteria

* Neovascular conditions other than AMD (e.g., choroidal neovascularisation due to other causes) or co-existence of other retinal disease in the study eye
* Significant optical media opacities that would result in poor imaging quality on OCT scans in the study eye
* Intraocular surgery in the study eye 3 months before or within 1 month after the treatment switch
