Two-year outcomes of intravitreal brolucizumab for neovascular age-related macular degeneration: treat, extend, and stop-protocol.
Purpose: To investigate the real-world 2-year treatment outcomes of intravitreal brolucizumab (IVBr) for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).
Methods: This multicenter, prospective, and interventional study included 53 eyes treated with brolucizumab from October 2020 to August 2021 at 3 institutions. A modified treat-and-extend (TAE) regimen with predefined discontinuation criteria was used. The mTAE regimen was discontinued if patients responded positively and achieved a treatment interval of 16 weeks twice with no sign of recurrence. The number of patients discontinuing TAE and the visual and anatomic changes at 1 and 2 years after the first IVBr were evaluated.
Results: Thirty-eight eyes from 38 patients (71%) completed the 2-year observation period and 7 eyes from 7 patients experienced intraocular inflammation (IOI). Of these 38 patients, 18 (47%) could discontinue the TAE at a median [interquartile range] of 13.1 [12.9-16.8] months after the first IVBr. Best-corrected visual acuity, central subfield retinal thickness, and central choroidal thickness were significantly improved compared with baseline at both 1 and 2 years after the first IVBr (all P < 0.001). An extension study revealed a 1-year recurrence rate of 5.6% (standard deviation, 5.4%) after TAE discontinuation.
Conclusions: While IOI is a concern with brolucizumab, careful observation allows discontinuing the TAE regimen in patients treated with IVBr. Moreover, brolucizumab may reduce the risk of recurrence after treatment interruption.
