RESUMO
Translational Relevance: A multi-stakeholder, patient centric approach will be critical to the design of future successful clinical trials with outcome measures relevant to the RDH12-IRD population.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and treatment patterns of ranibizumab 0.5 mg in treatment-naive patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration enrolled in LUMINOUS study. METHODS: This 5-year, prospective, multicenter, observational study recruited 30,138 adult patients (treatment-naive or previously treated with ranibizumab or other ocular treatments) who were treated according to the local ranibizumab label. RESULTS: Six thousand two hundred and forty-one treatment-naive neovascular age-related macular degeneration patients were recruited. Baseline (BL) demographics were, mean (SD) age 75.0 (10.2) years, 54.9% females, and 66.5% Caucasian. The mean (SD) visual acuity (VA; letters) gain at 1 year was 3.1 (16.51) (n = 3,379; BLVA, 51.9 letters [Snellen: 20/92]) with a mean (SD) of 5.0 (2.7) injections and 8.8 (3.3) monitoring visits. Presented by injection frequencies <3 (n = 537), 3 to 6 (n = 1,924), and >6 (n = 918), visual acuity gains were 1.6 (14.93), 3.3 (16.57), and 3.7 (17.21) letters, respectively. Stratified by BLVA <23 (n = 382), 23 to <39 (n = 559), 39 to <60 (n = 929), 60 to <74 (n = 994), and ≥74 (n = 515), visual acuity change was 12.6 (20.63), 6.7 (17.88), 3.6 (16.41), 0.3 (13.83), and -3.0 (11.82) letters, respectively. The incidence of ocular/nonocular adverse events was 8.2%/12.8% and serious adverse events were 0.9%/7.4%, respectively. CONCLUSION: These results demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of ranibizumab in treatment-naive neovascular age-related macular degeneration patients.
