“…Previous studies suggest the half-life of intravitreally administered drugs may be proportional to their molecular size. 11,18 The half-life of VEGF-Trap (145 kDa) was estimated to be 4 days, similar to the estimates in our study, based on the half-life of ranibizumab (48 kDa), 14,16,19 bevacizumab (149 kDa), 13,17,20,21 and rituximab (145 kDa). 22 In addition, we could directly compare the PK parameters for ranibizumab, bevacizumab, and VEGF-Trap, because we had conducted the PK studies for these three anti-VEGF agents using the same experimental methodologies.…”
