Abstract

Objective To evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of multiple intravitreal ranibizumab injections (Lucentis, Genentech, Inc., South San Francisco, CA) administered at the investigator's discretion in patients with choroidal neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration.Design An open-label, multicenter, extension study.Participants Patients who completed the controlled treatment phase of 1 of 3 prospective, randomized, 2-year clinical trials of ranibizumab were eligible for enrollment. Analyses were performed for 3 groups: (1) patients treated with ranibizumab in the initial study (ranibizumab treated-initial; n = 600); (2) patients randomized to control who crossed over to receive ranibizumab (ranibizumab treated-XO; n = 190); and (3) ranibizumab-naïve patients (ranibizumab untreated; n = 63).Methods Ranibizumab 0.5 mg was administered at the investigator's discretion. Adverse events (AEs) and Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) assessments were conducted at study visits every 3 to 6 months.Main outcome measures Incidence and severity of AEs.Results There was 1 occurrence of mild endophthalmitis per 3552 HORIZON injections in the ranibizumab treated-initial/ranibizumab treated-XO groups. There were no serious AE reports of lens damage, retinal tears, or rhegmatogenous retinal detachments in the study eyes. The proportion of patients with any single postdose intraocular pressure ≥30 mmHg was 9.2%, 6.6%, and 0%, and the proportion of patients with glaucoma was 3.2%, 4.2%, and 3.2% in the ranibizumab treated-initial, ranibizumab treated-XO, and ranibizumab untreated groups, respectively. Cataract AEs were less frequent in the ranibizumab untreated group: 6.3% versus 12.5% and 12.1% in the ranibizumab treated-initial and ranibizumab treated-XO groups, respectively. The proportion of patients with arterial thromboembolic events as defined by the Antiplatelet Trialists' Collaboration was 5.3% in the ranibizumab treated-initial and ranibizumab treated-XO groups, and 3.2% in the ranibizumab untreated group. At month 48 (2 years of HORIZON), the mean change in BCVA (ETDRS letters) relative to the initial study baseline was 2.0 in the ranibizumab treated-initial group versus -11.8 in the pooled ranibizumab treated-XO and ranibizumab untreated groups.Conclusions Multiple ranibizumab injections were well tolerated for ≥4 years. With less frequent follow-up leading to less treatment, there was an incremental decline of the visual acuity (VA) gains achieved with monthly treatment.Financial disclosure(s) Proprietary or commercial disclosure may be found after the references.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
