Efficacy and safety of ranibizumab with or without verteporfin photodynamic therapy for polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy: a randomized clinical trial. JAMA Ophthalmol. Published online October 5, 2017. doi:10.1001/jamaophthalmol.2017.4030

Introduction Importance: Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is a common subtype of exudative age-related macular degeneration among Asian individuals. To our knowledge, there are no large randomized clinical trials to evaluate intravitreal ranibizumab, with and without verteporfin photodynamic therapy (vPDT), for the treatment of PCV. Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of combination therapy of ranibizumab and vPDT with ranibizumab monotherapy in PCV.

Methods Study Design, Setting, and Participants: A double-masked, multicenter randomized clinical trial of 322 Asian participants with symptomatic macular PCV confirmed by the Central Reading Center using indocyanine green angiography was conducted between August 7, 2013, and March 2, 2017. Main Outcomes and Measures: Step 1 assessed whether combination therapy was noninferior (5-letter margin) to monotherapy for change in best-corrected visual acuity from baseline and superior in complete polyp regression. If noninferiority was established, step 2 assessed whether combination therapy was superior to monotherapy measured by best-corrected visual acuity change at month 12.

Methods Limitations: The administration of 3 initial monthly injections was presumptive because it was based on neovascular age-related macular degeneration treatment guidelines, which may not apply to combination treatment. Only Asian participants with PCV were included, and the results may be ethnospecific. Key Inclusion Criteria: Symptomatic macular PCV confirmed by the Central Reading Center as defined by the presence of active macular polypoidal lesions on indocyanine green angiography and serosanguineous maculopathy on fundus photography and fluorescein angiography. Best-corrected visual acuity letter score of 78 to 24 using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study chart at a starting distance of 4 m (approximately 20/32 to 20/320 Snellen equivalent).

Results Overall, the mean (SD) age of participants was 68.1 (8.8) years, and most participants were men (69.9%). In total, 322 participants were randomized to receive combination therapy (n = 168) or ranibizumab monotherapy (n = 154). At baseline, the overall mean best-corrected visual acuity and mean central subfield thickness were 61.1 letters and 413.3 μm, respectively. At 12 months, mean improvement from baseline was 8.3 letters with combination therapy vs 5.1 letters with monotherapy (mean difference, 3.2 letters; 95% CI, 0.4-6.1), indicating that combination therapy met the predefined criterion for noninferiority as well as being superior to monotherapy (P = .01). Combination therapy was also superior to monotherapy in achieving complete polyp regression at month 12 (69.3% vs 34.7%; P < .001). Over 12 months, the combination therapy group received a median of 4.0 ranibizumab injections compared with 7.0 in the monotherapy group. Vitreous hemorrhage was the only ocular serious adverse event (combination therapy group, 1 [0.6%]; monotherapy group, 3 [2.0%]).

SAE, serious adverse event

Comment The primary objectives of the EVEREST II study were met. In patients with symptomatic macular PCV, ranibizumab + vPDT was superior to ranibizumab monotherapy in improving best-corrected visual acuity at 12 months and achieving complete polypoidal lesion regression at 12 months. Importantly, these functional and anatomical outcomes were achieved with fewer injections over 12 months than anti-vascular endothelial growth factor monotherapy, thereby reducing treatment burden. There were no new safety signals compared with the established safety profiles of ranibizumab and vPDT.
