Diabetic macular oedema
In the RESTORE extension study, Prof Paolo Lanzetta from the Department of Ophthalmology, University of Udine introduced results from 240 patients with diabetic macular oedema (DME) who received individualised treatment with ranibizumab in a regimen consistent with the European Union label, the standard of care in wet AMD. The data presented at the 12th EURETINA Congress in Milan, Italy, showed that patients who were originally treated with ranibizumab received an average of 13.9 injections over three years. The mean of seven letters of visual acuity gained in the RESTORE core study were maintained with an average of 3.7 injections in the second year and 2.7 in the third year.Â
