Twelve-Month Outcomes of Brolucizumab in Routine Clinical Practice: Fight Retinal Blindness! Registry

Background: We analysed 12-month real-world outcomes of treatment of eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration switched to brolucizumab from a first-generation VEGF inhibitor to determine whether switching chronically active eyes that required frequent treatment improved control of the disease safely with fewer injections. Methods: Retrospective analysis of Australian and Italian data from the prospectively designed observational Fight Retinal Blindness! registry. We studied eyes that switched to brolucizumab and received at least two injections with 12 months of follow-up. Conclusions: Eyes that switched from a first generation VEGF inhibitor to brolucizumab in routine clinical practice achieved a clinically significant extension of their treatment interval, with more than a third becoming inactive but with a relatively high rate of IOI.

Abstract

Background: We analysed 12-month real-world outcomes of treatment of eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration switched to brolucizumab from a first-generation VEGF inhibitor to determine whether switching chronically active eyes that required frequent treatment improved control of the disease safely with fewer injections. Methods: Retrospective analysis of Australian and Italian data from the prospectively designed observational Fight Retinal Blindness! registry. We studied eyes that switched to brolucizumab and received at least two injections with 12 months of follow-up. Conclusions: Eyes that switched from a first generation VEGF inhibitor to brolucizumab in routine clinical practice achieved a clinically significant extension of their treatment interval, with more than a third becoming inactive but with a relatively high rate of IOI.
