Myopic CNV often small, mild leakage Myopic Fundus. Staphiloma Multiple areas of chorioretinal atrophy Tassellation-distrophy of the RPE There may be angiographic diagnostic difficulties even when using the SLO which gives more contrast and better definition

46 QUALE TERAPIA?

47 Laser photocoagulation of non-subfoveal myopic CNV
Randomized studies (1,2): effective but VA decreases during the time. No benefit at 5 years Retrospective studies (3): VA decrease 42% (5 years) up to 63% (10 years) in treated vs 68% in untreated NO MORE LASER 1) Soubrane 1986, 2)Fardeau 1992, 3) Secretan 1997

50 VIP Trial: Patients with Pathologic Myopia Primary Visual Acuity Outcome
pdt Eyes with <1.5-line loss (%) 80 P=0.003 Verteporfin-treated patients were more likely to have stabilized vision (defined as losing <1.5 lines) at month 12 60 40 20 Verteporfin (n = 81) Placebo (n = 39)

51 VIP Trial: Patients with Pathologic Myopia
VIP Trial: Patients with Pathologic Myopia. Primary VA Outcome at 2 years Eyes (%) with stable (<1.5 line) and improved (more than 1 line) vision The VIP trial have shown the beneficial effect of PDT in terms of preservation of visual acuity. In fact at 2 years verteporfin-treated patients were more likely to have preserved vision and an higher median visual acuity of 20/64 when compared to 20/100 of untreated group Verteporfin (n = 81) Placebo (n = 39)

53 Background PDT with Verteporfin is currently the only approved treatment for subfoveal CNV that has shown stabilization of vision compared with placebo At 1 year 72% of treated eyes compared with 44% of placebo eyes lost <8 letters (mean visual improvement 0,2 lines at 1 year) At 2 years this treatment benefit was no longer detected (36% vs 51% lost 8 letters) More than 50% persistent leakage at 1 year, 13% visual loss of 3 linee or more at 1 year VIP Trial, Ophthalmol 2001 and 2003

54 EYLEA ® and LUCENTIS ® MACUGEN ® and AVASTIN®
AFLIBERCEPT VEGF RANIBIZUMAB INJECTION AS THE FIRST THERAPY (rhu Fab v1) Fc Avastin (generically known as bevacizumab) and LUCENTIS are both anti-VEGF-A biologics; however, the 2 molecules were developed along parallel yet separate tracks. Although both are derived from a common precursor molecule, an anti-VEGF mouse monoclonal antibody, the rationale and strategies of development of these biologics were independent of one another. In the case of LUCENTIS, the anti-VEGF-A sequences from the precursor mouse monoclonal antibody were introduced into a human Fab framework, generating rhu Fab v1. Using rhu Fab v1 as a starting point, a series of Fabs were created in order to generate optimal VEGF-A binding though an affinity maturation process. The maturation process generated a Fab with a 140-fold higher affinity for VEGF-A than rhu Fab v1 and that is produced in an E. coli expression system. This Fab is now known as LUCENTIS. In contrast, the Avastin group at Genentech inserted the anti-VEGF-A sequences from the precursor mouse monoclonal antibody into a structurally distinct human Fab framework, generating Fab-12. This Fab was later used to create the full-length human IgG now known as Avastin. Avastin did not undergo affinity maturation. Avastin is produced in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, a different expression system from that used for LUCENTIS. This mammalian expression system is necessary to produce Avastin for 2 main reasons, the first being its large size. E. coli produces large proteins poorly, while CHO cells are fully capable of producing large proteins. The second reason is that mammalian cells can properly glycosylate IgGs like Avastin. Glycosylation is an important factor in conferring stability to full-length IgGs. LUCENTIS is not glycosylated. Thus, LUCENTIS and Avastin were developed for 2 different purposes (neovascular AMD and cancer, respectively) using 2 different development strategies and expression systems. Characterization of the LUCENTIS molecule will be discussed in the next few slides. BEVACIZUMAB PEGAPTANIB

Ranibizumab treatment showed a continuous improvement in BCVA in Group I (+13.8 letters) and Group II (+14.4 letters) from baseline to Month 12 In the vPDT group, the BCVA gain was less up to Month 3 and showed a steady increase after switching to ranibizumab treatment Months Mean change (±SE) in BCVA from baseline (ETDRS letters) 13.8 14.4 9.3 D8 12.1 12.5 1.4 Ranibizumab 0.5 mg/vPDT as of Month 3 as per investigators’ discretion ; BCVA: best-corrected visual acuity; D8: Day 8; ETDRS: early treatment diabetic retinopathy study; SE: standard error; VA: visual acuity; vPDT: verteporfin photodynamic therapy
