RESUMO

BACKGROUND: A high-dose formulation of intravitreal aflibercept (8 mg) could improve treatment outcomes in diabetic macular oedema (DMO) by requiring fewer injections than the standard comparator, aflibercept 2 mg. We report efficacy and safety results of aflibercept 8 mg versus 2 mg in patients with DMO. METHODS: PHOTON was a randomised, double-masked, non-inferiority, phase 2/3 trial performed at 138 hospitals and specialty retina clinics in seven countries. Eligible patients were adults aged 18 years or older with type 1 or 2 diabetes and centre-involved DMO. Patients were randomly assigned (1:2:1) to intravitreal aflibercept 2 mg every 8 weeks (2q8), aflibercept 8 mg every 12 weeks (8q12), or aflibercept 8 mg every 16 weeks (8q16), following initial monthly dosing. From week 16, dosing intervals for the aflibercept 8 mg groups were shortened if patients met prespecified dose regimen modification criteria denoting disease activity. The primary endpoint was change from baseline in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at week 48 (non-inferiority margin of 4 letters). Efficacy and safety analyses included all randomly assigned patients who received at least one dose of study treatment. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04429503). FINDINGS: Between June 29, 2020, and June 28, 2021, 970 patients were screened for eligibility. After exclusions, 660 patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to receive aflibercept 8q12 (n=329), 8q16 (n=164), or 2q8 (n=167); two patients were randomly assigned in error and did not receive treatment. 658 (99·7%) patients were treated and included in the full analysis set and safety analysis set (8q12 n=328, 8q16 n=163, and 2q8 n=167). Mean patient age was 62·3 years (SD 10·4). 401 (61%) patients were male. 471 (72%) patients were White. Aflibercept 8q12 and 8q16 demonstrated non-inferior BCVA gains to aflibercept 2q8 (BCVA mean change from baseline 8·8 letters [SD 9·0] in the 8q12 group, 7·9 letters [8·4] in the 8q16 group, and 9·2 letters [9·0] in the 2q8 group). The difference in least squares means was -0·57 letters (95% CI -2·26 to 1·13, p value for non-inferiority <0·0001) between 8q12 and 2q8 and -1·44 letters (-3·27 to 0·39, p value for non-inferiority 0·0031) between aflibercept 8q16 and 2q8. Proportions of patients with ocular adverse events in the study eye were similar across groups (8q12 n=104 [32%], 8q16 n=48 [29%], and 2q8 n=46 [28%]). INTERPRETATION: Aflibercept 8 mg demonstrated efficacy and safety with extended dosing intervals and could decrease treatment burden in patients with DMO.

RESUMO

Importance: Despite the effectiveness of existing anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapies, a need remains for further treatment options to improve response rates and/or reduce injection or monitoring frequency in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME). Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of brolucizumab vs aflibercept dosed every 4 weeks in participants with DME. Design, Participants, and Setting: This 52-week, double-masked, phase 3 randomized clinical trial included treatment-naive adults and adults who had previously received anti-VEGF therapy. Data were collected from September 2019 to March 2020, and data were analyzed from April 2020 to February 2021. Intervention: Brolucizumab, 6 mg, intravitreal injection every 4 weeks or aflibercept, 2 mg, intravitreal injection every 4 weeks. Main Outcomes and Measures: Participants were randomized 2:1 to brolucizumab, 6 mg, or aflibercept, 2 mg. The primary end point was change from baseline in best-corrected visual acuity at week 52. Secondary end points were the proportion of participants with a 2-step improvement or greater from baseline in Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Scale score, the proportion of eyes with absence of both subretinal fluid and intraretinal fluid, change from baseline in central subfield thickness, and safety at week 52. Results: A total of 517 participants were randomized to brolucizumab (n = 346) or aflibercept (n = 171); 299 (57.8%) were male, and the mean (SD) age was 60.7 (10.2) years. Brolucizumab was noninferior to aflibercept in best-corrected visual acuity (Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study letter score) change from baseline at week 52 (brolucizumab, 12.2-letter improvement; aflibercept, 11.0-letter improvement; difference, 1.1; 95% CI, -0.6 to 2.9; noninferiority margin, 4; P < .001). Brolucizumab was superior to aflibercept for the proportion of eyes without subretinal and intraretinal fluid (brolucizumab, 144 of 346 [41.6%]; aflibercept, 38 of 171 [22.2%]; difference, 20.0%; 95% CI, 12.5to 28.6; P < .001) and mean central subfield thickness change from baseline at week 52 (brolucizumab, -237.8 µm; aflibercept, -196.5 µm; difference, -41.4; 95% CI, -58.9 to -23.8; P < .001). Incidence of intraocular inflammation was 4.0% (14 of 346) in the brolucizumab arm and 2.9% (5 of 171) in the aflibercept arm, incidence of retinal vasculitis was 0.9% (3 of 346) and 0.6% (1 of 171), respectively, and incidence of retinal vascular occlusion was 0.3% (1 of 346) and 0.6% (1 of 171). One participant in the brolucizumab arm had retinal artery occlusion. Conclusions and Relevance: In these study participants with DME, no clinically meaningful differences in visual outcomes were noted between the brolucizumab and aflibercept arms; some superior anatomic improvements were noted in the brolucizumab arm. No new safety concerns were identified. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03917472.
