Abstract
INTRODUCTION Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) represents a leading cause of severe visual impairment in individuals over 50 years of age in developed nations. Intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections have become the standard of care for treating nAMD; however, monthly or bimonthly dosing represents significant time and cost burden due to the disease's chronic nature and limited medication half-life. AREAS COVERED This review summarizes innovative therapeutics and delivery methods for nAMD. Emerging methods for extended drug delivery include high molar concentration anti-VEGF drugs, intravitreal sustained-release polymers and devices, reservoirs for intravitreal delivery, suprachoroidal delivery of small molecular suspensions and gene therapy biofactories. In addition to VEGF-A, therapies targeting inhibition of VEGF-C and D, the angiopoetin-2 (Ang-2)/Tie-2 pathway, tyrosine kinases, and integrins are reviewed. EXPERT OPINION The evolving therapeutic landscape of nAMD is rapidly expanding our toolkit for effective and durable treatment. Recent FDA approvals of faricimab (Vabysmo) and high-dose aflibercept (Eylea HD) for nAMD with potential extension of injection intervals up to four months have been promising developments for patients and providers alike. Further research and innovation, including novel delivery techniques and pharmacologic targets, is necessary to validate the efficacy of developing therapeutics and characterize real-world outcomes, demonstrating promise in expanding treatment durability.

Real-World Outcomes of a Loading Phase with Intravitreal Faricimab in Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration (n-AMD) and Diabetic Macular Edema (DME). Ophthalmol Ther 2024; 13:2163-2184. [PMID: 38831127 PMCID: PMC11246372 DOI: 10.1007/s40123-024-00980-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aims of this work were to evaluate the real-world efficacy and safety of a loading dose of intravitreal faricimab in eyes with active neovascular age-related macular degeneration (n-AMD) or diabetic macular edema (DME) and to analyze the treatment outcome in relation to specific biomarkers. METHODS Patients with active n-AMD or DME, treated with four monthly intravitreal injections of faricimab, were enrolled in this retrospective, uncontrolled study. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central subfield thickness (CST), presence of retinal fluid (RF) on optical coherence tomography (OCT), and adverse events were assessed at baseline and at weeks 4, 8, 12, and 16. Predefined biomarkers were evaluated at baseline (BL) and at last visit. RESULTS Sixteen eyes of 15 patients with n-AMD (n-AMD group) and 15 eyes of 12 patients with DME (DME group) were included. Mean (± standard deviation) logarithm of minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) BL BCVA changed from 0.68 (± 0.43) to 0.53 (± 0.36; P = 0.13) and from 0.51 (± 0.34) to 0.32 (± 0.24; P: 0.048) at week 16 in n-AMD and DME group, respectively. A statistically significant mean CST reduction was reported in both groups at last visit (n-AMD: - 166.5 μm; P = 0.0009/DME: - 110.8 μm; P = 0.0086). Seventy-five and 33% of eyes with n-AMD and DME respectively achieved complete RF resolution at last visit. Subfoveal inner and outer retinal damage correlated with a lower final BCVA in n-AMD group. The presence of large (> 100 μm) juxtafoveal microaneurysms (MAs) was significantly correlated with a higher chance of residual fluid in eyes with DME. CONCLUSIONS Both n-AMD and DME groups achieved satisfactory anatomical results after a loading-dose of intravitreal faricimab. BCVA improvement might be hampered by pre-existing retinal damage in eyes with n-AMD. Large, juxtafoveal MAs might represent a hallmark of a slower anatomical response to the treatment in eyes with DME.

Int J Retina Vitreous 2024; 10:48. [PMID: 38997766 PMCID: PMC11245828 DOI: 10.1186/s40942-024-00566-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To systematically review the real-world outcomes of intravitreal faricimab treatment in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) to evaluate its efficacy and safety in clinical settings. This study was conducted due to the need for real-world evidence to complement the findings from controlled clinical phase-III trials. METHODS A systematic literature search was conducted on March 17, 2024, across 11 databases, utilizing search terms specifically tailored each database. All studies were reviewed qualitatively with specific focus on the outcomes of interest: the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), the central retina thickness (CRT), and the burden of therapy. RESULTS We identified a total of 22 eligible studies of 1762 eyes from 1618 patients with nAMD. Studies reported that intravitreal faricimab injections maintained BCVA in patients with previously treated eyes and demonstrated statistically significant improvement in patients with treatment-naïve eyes. The CRT was reduced after intravitreal faricimab therapy. Faricimab was well-tolerated, with no significant safety concerns identified, and reduced the overall burden of therapy. CONCLUSION Real-world studies corroborate the conclusions drawn from phase-III trials regarding faricimab treatment, demonstrating improvement in both visual and anatomical outcomes. Additionally, no significant safety issues were identified, as the treatment was generally well-tolerated and reduced the overall burden of therapy in the real-world settings.

Short-term outcomes of treatment switch to faricimab in patients with aflibercept-resistant neovascular age-related macular degeneration. Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol 2024; 262:2153-2162. [PMID: 38416237 PMCID: PMC11222265 DOI: 10.1007/s00417-024-06421-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2024] [Revised: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 02/14/2024] [Indexed: 02/29/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To report short-term outcomes of treatment switch to faricimab in real-world patients with aflibercept-resistant neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). METHODS Single-center, retrospective cohort study with chart-review using electronic injection database, electronic medical records, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) data from May to September 2023. RESULTS A total of 50 eyes of 46 patients were analyzed. Faricimab treatment led to absence of fluid in 32% of the eyes and a reduction of fluid in 84% of the eyes. There was a statistically significant decrease in central retinal thickness (CRT) and pigment epithelial detachment (PED) height in those that responded to the switch (median difference: - 31 μm, IQR: 55, p < 0.0001 and median difference: - 21 μm, IQR: 36, p < 0.0001, respectively) and a statistically significant increase in CRT (median difference: + 19 μm, IQR: 20, p = 0.0143) and no change in PED height (median difference: + 22 μm, IQR: 64, p = 0.1508) in those that did not. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) showed marginal decrease with low statistical significance. No ocular or systemic safety events were observed. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that switching to faricimab is generally safe and effective in patients with neovascular AMD who are otherwise difficult to treat and have residual fluid despite frequent injections with aflibercept. We observed a high rate of morphological response to the treatment switch, improvement of anatomical parameters with about one-third of patients having dry macula following a single injection, and a marginal change in BCVA. Sustainability of these results requires further investigation. STUDY REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov registration number: NCT06124677. Date of registration: 09/11/2023, retrospectively registered.

One-year visual and anatomical outcomes of intravitreal faricimab injection for neovascular age-related macular degeneration after prior brolucizumab treatment. Sci Rep 2024; 14:9087. [PMID: 38643252 PMCID: PMC11032343 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-59894-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 04/22/2024] Open
Abstract
This single-center retrospective cohort study analyzed the 1-year real-world treatment outcomes of 63 consecutive eyes (of 60 patients) with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) that were switched from intravitreal brolucizumab (IVBr) to intravitreal faricimab (IVF) and managed on a treat-and-extend regimen with discontinuation criteria. After the switch, patients opted to continue IVF, to switch back to IVBr, or receive photodynamic therapy (PDT). Thirty-eight patients continued IVF, 16 patients were switched back to IVBr, 2 patients received PDT, and 4 patients paused treatment. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central subfield thickness (CST), subfoveal choroidal thickness (sf-CT), and injection intervals were compared immediately before and 1 year after the initial IVF. Whereas there was no change in BCVA and CST; 0 [- 0.0969 to 0.125, P = 0.58], - 1.5 [- 27.8 to 13.5, P = 0.11] µm, respectively, sf-CT decreased significantly; - 19.5 [- 45.5 to 7.75, P = 0.015] µm. The patients switched back showed no significant change in sf-CT. The injection interval extended significantly in the IVF continuation and the switch-back group (2.0 and 3.0 weeks, respectively; [P = 0.0007 and 0.0078]) in eyes with a pre-switching interval of less than 12 weeks. Faricimab shows promise as a safe and effective alternative to brolucizumab for treating nAMD.

Intravitreal faricimab for neovascular age-related macular degeneration previously treated with traditional anti-VEGF compounds: a real-world prospective study. Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol 2024; 262:1151-1159. [PMID: 38047930 DOI: 10.1007/s00417-023-06319-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2023] [Revised: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 12/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS To evaluate the efficacy, safety and durability of intravitreal faricimab in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) with unsatisfactory response to traditional anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents. METHODS Single-centre, prospective cohort study of all consecutive patients with nAMD who were switched to intravitreal faricimab from intravitreal ranibizumab or aflibercept, due to unsatisfactory treatment response (maximal fluid-free interval ≤ 8 weeks). Intravitreal faricimab was administered with a loading dose of four 4-weekly injections, followed by an 8-week extension. A treat and extend (T&E) regime was adopted thereafter. Primary outcome was the difference between the maximal fluid-free interval achieved with faricimab, and the one achieved before the switch. Morpho-functional outcomes were also assessed. Secondary outcome was accordance with clinical management when applying faricimab pivotal trial criteria versus our real-world T&E protocol, measured as a proportion. RESULTS Twenty-six eyes of 26 patients with a median age of 82 years (range 77-85) were included. Patients were followed for 30.2 weeks (range 26.3-33.1). Maximal fluid-free interval after switch to faricimab (Mdn = 6.0 weeks; IQR = 4-8) was longer than the maximum interval before the switch (Mdn = 4.0 weeks; IQR = 4-4), p < 0.001. Comparing real-world T&E protocol with pivotal trial criteria, 8 (30.8%) eyes received the same clinical management while 18 (69.2%) eyes were kept at a shorter interval when following our T&E protocol. No serious adverse events were recorded. CONCLUSIONS Faricimab appears to increase the fluid-free interval and allow extension of dosing interval in patients with nAMD poorly responsive to traditional anti-VEGF drugs.

Review of real-world evidence of dual inhibition of VEGF-A and ANG-2 with faricimab in NAMD and DME. Int J Retina Vitreous 2024; 10:5. [PMID: 38233896 PMCID: PMC10795384 DOI: 10.1186/s40942-024-00525-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Management of vitreoretinal disorders (e.g., neovascular age-related macular degeneration [nAMD] and diabetic macular edema [DME]) have assumed the standard therapy of lifelong anti-VEGF injections with drugs like aflibercept, brolucizumab, ranibizumab and bevacizumab. However, the burden imposed on patients is a major deterrent for continual therapy and recovery. Faricimab, a bispecific antibody, blocking both VEGF-A and Ang-2 molecules, produces a comparable functional and anatomical results, with less injections, significantly reducing patient burden. Visual acuity, safety, adverse effects, and anatomical outcomes are discussed in the pivotal clinical trials (YOSEMITE/RHINE and TENAYA/LUCERNE), and early data from real-world studies (TRUCKEE, TAHOE, FARWIDE-DME, FARETINA and others). In YOSEMITE and RHINE, faricimab demonstrated non-inferior vision gains, better anatomical outcomes compared to aflibercept every 8 weeks. Faricimab in the personalized treatment interval (PTI), after week 96, achieved 12-week interval in 78.1% of the patients and 16-week interval in 62.3%. TENAYA and LUCERNE reported comparable best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improvement and better anatomic outcomes during head-to-head phase, parallel to aflibercept, at its 8-week treatment schedule. Faricimab in the PTI regimen, after week 96 achieved 12-week interval in 77.8% of the patients and 16-week interval in 63.1%. Safety of faricimab has been comparable to aflibercept in these pivotal trials. Real-world data supports the data from the pivotal studies regarding the efficacy and safety profile of faricimab in heterogenous real world patient population. Moreover, in previously treated patients, it also demonstrated a faster fluid resolution, good safety profile. Considering faricimab has demonstrated anatomic and durability benefit in the treatment of nAMD and DME, additional data from ongoing extension clinical trials, AVONELLE-X and RHONE-X will help understand longer term outcomes for patients treated with faricimab as well as patients switching from aflibercept to faricimab after finishing the pivotal trials. Longer term data from the real-world studies will also continue to contribute to our understanding of long-term efficacy, safety and durability in the real world patient population.
