Abstract
Abstract
Objective
To evaluate the effectiveness, treatment patterns and long-term safety of ranibizumab 0.5 mg in treatment-naïve patients with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) in a real-world setting.
Methods
LUMINOUS, a 5-year, global, prospective, multicentre, multi-indication, observational, open-label study, recruited treatment naïve or prior treated patients who were treated as per the local ranibizumab label. Here, we report the mean change in visual acuity (VA; Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study [ETDRS] letters), treatment exposure over year (Y) 1 and 5-year safety in treatment-naïve CRVO patients.
Results
At baseline, the mean age of treatment-naïve CRVO patients (n = 327) was 68.9 years, with a mean (Standard deviation [SD]) VA of 40.6 (23.9) letters. At Y1, patients (n = 144) had a mean (SD) VA gain from baseline of 10.8 (19.66) letters, with a mean (SD) of 5.4 (2.65) ranibizumab injections. Patients demonstrated mean (SD) VA gains of 2.7 (19.35), 11.6 (20.56), 13.9 (18.08), 11.1 (18.46) and 8.2 (24.86) letters with 1, 2–3, 4–5, 6–8 and >8 ranibizumab injections, respectively. Mean (SD) VA gains at Y1 in patients receiving loading (67.4%) and no loading dose (32.6%) was 11.9 (20.42) and 8.4 (17.99) letters, respectively. Over five years, the incidence of ocular/non-ocular adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs was 11.3%/8.6% and 1.2%/6.7%, respectively.
Conclusions
These results demonstrate the effectiveness of ranibizumab in treatment-naïve CRVO patients at Y1 with clinically meaningful VA gains and no new safety findings over five years. These findings may help inform routine practice and enable better clinical management to achieve optimal visual outcomes.
