Study shows efficacy of anti-VEGF therapy in myopic CNV
Based on positive outcomes from the RADIANCE trial, ranibizumab has recently been approved by European authorities as a treatment for patients with choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to pathologic myopia, according to Sebastian Wolf MD.
“The trial data showed that ranibizumab provides rapid and superior improvement in visual acuity compared with the current licensed standard of care, photodynamic therapy with verteporfin after three months. There was an average 14-letter visual acuity gain in the first year with a median of two injections and more than 60 per cent of patients in the study did not need any further injections after six months,” said Dr Wolf.
