Treat-and-Extend Intravitreal Bevacizumab for Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion

Abstract: Treatment of BRVO-associated ME with IVB using a TAE regimen resulted in similar visual outcomes and number of intravitreal injections as did as-needed treatment with 0.5 mg ranibizumab conducted in phase 3 trials but with fewer visits and lower annual medical costs.

“…The recommended dosage is 0.5 mg, 2.0 mg, and 1.25 mg for ranibizumab, aflibercept, and bevacizumab, respectively [115, 116]. Some specialists preferred a monthly injection, while others employ a treat and extend (TREX) or an as needed (pro re nata) regimen [93, 106, 117120]. A recent study reported that BRVO patients can receive good VA and central macular thickness (CMT) outcomes with a lower frequency of intravitreal ranibizumab.…”

“…A retrospective bevacizumab study showed that by using a new treatment scheme, the treat-and-extend regimen (TER), the number of follow-up visits for patients with CME due to BRVO was considerably reduced and the treatment was individualized with favourable VA outcome [12]. For other diseases treated with intravitreal anti-VEGF drugs, such as wet age-related macular degeneration (wAMD), this is already a common treatment scheme particularly in the US [13].…”

“…Zu dem gelang mit der Einführung und Ver breitung der hochauflösenden Spektral Domain optischen Kohärenztomographie (SDOCT) ein wesentlicher Fortschritt in der bildgebenden Diagnostik. Der Berufs verband deutscher Augenärzte (BVA), die Retinologische Gesellschaft (RG) und die Deutsche Ophthalmologische Gesell schaft (DOG) empfehlen in den aktuellen Stellungnahmen [6][7][8] Die Verbesserung der Sehkraft der Patienten im klinischen All tag bleibt jedoch häufig hinter den Er gebnissen prospektiver, kontrollierter, randomisierter Studien zurück [11,18,22]. Eine mögliche Erklärung hierfür ist, dass es im klinischen Alltag zu einer Unterbehandlung der Patienten kommt.…”

“…Auch für venöse Verschlüsse gibt es ein PRNSchema und auch eine TEBe handlungsstrategie [7,18]. Bei einer Seh schärfe unter 0,05 wird eine Therapie nur in Ausnahmefällen empfohlen, während für den Visus keine Obergrenze an gegeben wird [7].…”
