Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAngiogenesis is the biological process in which existing blood vessels generate new ones and it is essential for body growth and development, wound healing, and granulation tissue formation. Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) is a crucial cell membrane receptor that binds to VEGF to regulate angiogenesis and maintenance. Dysregulation of VEGFR signaling can lead to several diseases, such as cancer and ocular neovascular disease, making it a crucial research area for disease treatment. Currently, anti-VE...

CO35 Real-World Effectiveness of Intravitreal Ranibizumab and Aflibercept for Eyes with Central Retinal Vein Occlusion: A Multi-Institutional Cohort Study in Taiwan
Intravitreal ranibizumab and aflibercept is the mainstream therapy for central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO), a common cause of vision loss in adults. However, the long-term effectiveness of changes in central retinal thickness (CRT) and visual acuity (VA) post ranibizumab and aflibercept therapy remains unclear in Taiwan. (Source: Value in Health)

EE426 A Comparison of the Cost-Saving Impact of Biosimilar Switching Policies across Canadian Provinces: A Case-Study for a Ranibizumab Biosimilar
This examined the impact of differing ophthalmology biosimilar switching policies on cost-savings for Canadian payors. The anticipated budget impact of a ranibizumab biosimilar was estimated across ten provincial drug plans. Resulting analysis identified possible opportunities for increased drug plan cost-savings associated with adopting proactive biosimilar switching policies. (Source: Value in Health)

Aflibercept versus ranibizumab for diabetic macular edema: A meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: This study found that there was no difference in BCVA, CMT or adverse reactions between AFL and RAN at 6 and 12 months of follow-up, but AFL needed fewer IVIs than RAN.PMID:37226427 | DOI:10.1177/11206721231178658 (Source: European Journal of Ophthalmology)

Comparison of clinical effectiveness of conbercept and ranibizumab for treating retinopathy of prematurity: a meta-analysis
ConclusionConbercept had a higher rate of primary cure in ROP patients. More RCTs are needed to compare the efficacy of conbercept and ranibizumab in treating ROP. (Source: International Journal of Clinical Pharmacy)

Efficacy and Safety of Brolucizumab, Aflibercept, and Ranibizumab for the Treatment of Patients with Visual Impairment Due to Diabetic Macular Oedema: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis
ConclusionBrolucizumab 6  mg Q12W/Q8W was comparable or superior to aflibercept 2 mg and ranibizumab 0.5 mg regimens for various visual and anatomical efficacy outcomes and discontinuation rates. (Source: Diabetes Therapy)

Aflibercept for long-term treatment of diabetic macular edema and proliferative diabetic retinopathy: a meta-analysis
ConclusionsThis meta-analysis showed that the advantages of IAI are obvious in the management of DME and PDR with poor baseline vision for long-term observation (a minimum of 12 months and up to 24 months) with both VA improvement and CST reduction. Applied IAI separately trended to be more effective than panretinal photocoagulation separately in VA improvement for PDR. More parameters should be required to assess functional and anatomic outcomes. (Source: Frontiers in Endocrinology)
