Abstract
Background Macular neovascular diseases can cause severe vision loss. A newly approved anti—VEGF drug Conbercept has shown good efficacy and safety in rigorous random controlled trials (RCT), however, it cannot fully reflect the clinical application of Conbercept in real world clinical practice. Moreover, anti-VEGF drugs are expensive and often require multiple treatments, and some patients have poor or even no response to the drugs,this resulted enormous waste of medical resources. Therefore, how to find out those patients who have good response, and how to develop individualized therapeutic regimen in real world need to be urgently investigated in the aspect of pharmacogenomics and pharmacometabolomics. Methods This study is a multicenter, prospective, observational study of Conbecept treating macular neovascular diseases in China. Patients suffered from age-related macular degeneration, polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy, and pathological myopia who already planned to receive Conbercept treatment will be recruited. We aimed to enroll more than 5000 patients from 43 ophthalmic centers in China. Patients’ clinical data and blood samples will be collected during the one-year follow-up period. Finally, the safety and efficacy of Conbercept, and the potential predictors of patients’ response to Conbercept will be investigated by pharmacogenomics and pharmacometabolomics analysis. Discussion This study will provide important data of Conbercept in treating macular neovascular diseases in real world. Besides, finding the predictor of patients’ response will help doctor make more precise individualized therapeutic regimens. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03128463.

MORPHOLOGIC FEATURES ASSOCIATED WITH FIBROTIC SCARRING AFTER ANTI-VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR THERAPY IN POLYPOIDAL CHOROIDAL VASCULOPATHY. Retina 2017; 38:2168-2176.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate morphologic features associated with fibrotic scarring after anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy in polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV). METHODS This retrospective study included 293 patients who had been diagnosed with PCV and treated with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor monotherapy during a 12-month follow-up period. Associations of morphologic features, including type of PCV, location of the polypoidal lesion, greatest linear dimension, largest polyp diameter, choroidal vascular hyperpermeability, pigment epithelial detachment, intraretinal fluid, and subretinal hyperreflective material (SHRM) with fibrotic scar at 12 months were analyzed. RESULTS Fibrotic scars were noted in 15 eyes (5.1%). The incidence of fibrotic scars was higher in Type 1 PCV (8 of 76 eyes) than in Type 2 PCV (7 of 217 eyes, P = 0.028). The incidence was also higher in eyes with SHRM (14 of 124 eyes) than in eyes without SHRM (1 of 169 eyes, P < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, SHRM was associated with fibrotic scar (P = 0.005). Among the SHRM cases, the incidence of the scar was 12.9% in eyes with submacular hemorrhage and 8.5% in eyes without hemorrhage. CONCLUSION Although fibrotic scar is an infrequent finding in PCV, the possibility of scarring should be considered in eyes with SHRM, particularly in submacular hemorrhage cases.
