Diabetic Macular Edema

Genentech will highlight its ophthalmology portfolio at the American Society of Retina Specialists 2023 annual meeting in Seattle, Washington, including a late-breaking presentation on Vabysmo’s effect on epiretinal membrane (ERM) formation in DME compared to aflibercept.

Nathan Steinle, MD; Adrienne Scott, MD; Carl Regillo, MD, FACS, FASRS; and Prethy Rao, MD, MPH, share final thoughts on the changing treatment landscape of neovascular AMD and DME.

Expert retina specialists discuss recent developments in the treatment landscape for geographic atrophy (GA) and the future management of patients with coexisting neovascular AMD and GA.

Drs Nathan Steinle, Adrienne Scott, Carl Regillo, and Prethy Rao share their perspectives on biosimilars in the treatment of neovascular AMD and DME, emphasizing how their cost will affect their uptake.

Adrienne Scott, MD, and Prethy Rao, MD, MPH, discuss implementation of step therapy in neovascular age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema without compromising vision outcomes.

The PHOTON study demonstrates the long-term efficacy and safety of this treatment for patients with DME.

Drs Nathan Steinle, Adrienne Scott, Carl Regillo, and Prethy Rao highlight gene therapy as a future treatment of neovascular AMD and DME and how it will significantly reduce the burden on patients.

Expert retina specialists discuss the OPT-302 study and the challenges presented when using 2 agents in tandem to treat diabetic macular edema.

Retina specialists review new and emerging treatments in neovascular AMD and DME, highlighting high-dose aflibercept and KSI-301.

Drs Nathan Steinle, Adrienne Scott, Carl Regillo, and Prethy Rao comment on loading dose recommendations for faricimab or other anti-VEGF therapies in the treatment of DME.

This phase will evaluate UNITY’s UBX1325 (foselutoclax) in a head-to-head comparison with aflibercept for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME).

New treatment options enhance patient visual outcomes and reduce treatment burdens.

Retina experts discuss the benefits of using intraocular steroids to treat patients with DME as well as their approach to switching to steroids after a poor response to anti-VEGF therapy.

Expert retina specialists provide an overview of the YOSEMITE and RHINE clinical studies of faricimab in the treatment of DME.

Ala Moshiri, MD, PhD, provides an overview of current treatment options for diabetic macular edema.

Investigators have enrolled the 112 patients in the KALAHARI phase 2, part B clinical trial for diabetic macular edema (DME). This is above the originally planned total of 108 patients.

Senescent cells accumulate in areas of disease activity in DME and wet age-related macular degeneration and release mediators that drive the pathology. UBX1325 seems to prevent that disease activity.

Patients who are non-responders to anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy may benefit from intravitreal dexamethasone.

Carl Regillo, MD, FACS, FASRS, and Prethy Rao, MD, MPH, discuss the phase 3 trials of faricimab in the treatment of DME and highlighting the enhanced resolution of intraocular fluid.

Nathan Steinle, MD; Adrienne Scott, MD; Carl Regillo, MD, FACS, FASRS; and Prethy Rao, MD, MPH, review the challenges presented in the management of DME, including the disease burden on the patient.

Retina experts discuss biomarkers to track disease progression in neovascular AMD, as well as their thoughts on the utility of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A).

Drs Nathan Steinle, Adrienne Scott, Carl Regillo, and Prethy Rao share their approaches to dosing recommendations for faricimab in the treatment of neovascular AMD.

Results of the study, published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, showed evidence that an experimental drug called 32-134D may prevent or slow vision loss in people with diabetes.

Oxurion NV has reached its enrollment target of 108 patients in its KALAHARI Phase 2, Part B clinical trial for diabetic macular edema (DME) and will likely continue to include additional participants in the trial due to high interest.

Alimera Sciences, Inc. has completed enrollment for its NEW DAY clinical trial (NCT04469595). Participants are patients diagnosed with diabetic macular edema (DME).
