Could next-generation anti-VEGF agents such as faricimab (Vabysmo, Genentech/Roche) and high-dose aflibercept (Eylea HD, Regeneron) be dosed as infrequently as every 20 weeks without sacrificing efficacy? And even if there are data that suggest that finding, would anyone actually adopt an interval that long in wet AMD patients? Philip Storey, MD, fills us in on TENAYA and LUCERNE data that explored, in part, how many patients could theoretically reach a 20-week dosing interval with faricimab, and which baseline factors predicted whether patients were conducive to such a strategy. And Prof. Sobha Sivaprasad joins us to review findings from PULSAR. In particular, she focuses on data examining whether wet AMD patients could be dosed as long as every 24 weeks on high-dose aflibercept. This is part 1 of 2 of NRR's ARVO 2024 coverage.
