From #NEIfunded DRCR network (@DrcrNet):
Factors for meeting criteria to switch from bevacizumab to aflibercept in people with center-involved diabetic macular edema & moderate vision loss.
@JaebCenter @JoslinDiabetes @ClevelandClinic

ALT Graph showing the cumulative proportion of eyes switching from bevacizumab to aflibercept after 12 weeks by 12-week central subfield thickness. Central subfield thickness at the 12-week visit was grouped based on tertile values. Eyes switched at the 12-week visit were not included. Data from eyes that did not meet the criteria for switching were censored at the last completed visit. Credit: Ophthalmology

At 4 years, treatment of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy with aflibercept vs sham treatment resulted in statistically significant anatomic improvement, but no improvement in visual acuity. ja.ma/3JKVJOB

Visual acuity measurements from ETDRS protocol testing tend to be better than Snellen measurements recorded in clinical practice. Differences were greater when clinical measurements were lower and when they were taken without refraction. @DrcrNet ow.ly/cq1N50M712Q

#NEIfunded clinical trial led by @DrcrNet found that in diabetic macular edema, starting with a cheaper drug (Avastin) and switching to a more expensive drug (Eylea) as needed leads to good vision outcomes. @NIDDKgov Read the NEI News report: bit.ly/3O7GtK0

Some insurance companies mandate a form of step therapy, which involves a trial of an inexpensive drug, bevacizumab, to treat diabetic macular edema. This trial compared two treatments: step therapy and a more expensive drug. #ASRS2022 nej.md/3P9FA4X

While intravitreal injection of aflibercept may be a safe alternative for initial management of vitreous hemorrhage from proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), vitrectomy with panretinal photocoagulation remains the standard of care for PDR. ja.ma/34gXqxv
