摘要
Aflibercept (Eylea (R)) is an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agent indicated for intravitreal use in the treatment of diabetic macular oedema. In patients with diabetic macular oedema, significantly greater improvements from baseline to week 52 in visual acuity were seen with intravitreal aflibercept versus macular laser photocoagulation in the phase III VISTA-DME and VIVID-DME trials, and versus intravitreal bevacizumab or ranibizumab in those with worse visual acuity at baseline (i.e. Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study letter score of <69) in the phase III PROTOCOL-T trial. Intravitreal aflibercept was generally well tolerated in patients with diabetic macular oedema. In conclusion, intravitreal aflibercept is an important new treatment for diabetic macular oedema.
