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 chart review is to establish the response rate, efficacy and safety of a single dose of intravitreal faricimab injection in real-world patients with aflibercept- and ranibizumab-resistant neovascular age-related macular degeneration.

Study Groups

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
* Previous treatment with minimum 6 consecutive, monthly aflibercept (Eylea®) injections in the study eye without optimal treatment response, defined as persisting intraretinal fluid or subretinal fluid or both on optical coherence tomography scans
* Subsequently, a sequential switch to ranibizumab (Lucentis®), with minimum 1 injection, also without optimal response
* Finally, a sequential treatment switch from ranibizumab 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
