Consistent and well-documented long-term safety profile across all 5 indications
Incidences of ocular and non-ocular events similar across groups, and similar to previous trials in other indications; no new safety findings or increased safety concerns reported nAMD DME CRVO BRVO mCNV 19,500 patients enrolled in RCTs across all 5 indications 3.1 million patient treatment years of exposure across all 5 indications 18.5 million injections across all 5 indications nAMD Neovascular age-related macular degeneration DME Diabetic macular edema BRVO Branch Retinal vein occlusion CRVO Central Retinal vein occlusion mCNV Myopic choroidal neo-vascularization

Conclusions: ranibizumab in DME
Well-established long-term efficacy in RCTs utilizing a monthly, PRN or T&E regimen Early VA gains sustained for up to 5 years in RCTs Injection frequency can be reduced as early as the first year of treatment,* and can be reduced further with continued treatment* Consistent and well-documented safety profile *Treatment is initiated with one injection per month until maximal visual acuity is achieved and/or there are no signs of disease activity. i.e. no change in visual acuity and in other signs and symptoms of the disease under continued treatment. In patients with wet AMD, DME and RVO, initially, three or more consecutive monthly injections may be needed.

How does this evidence apply to real world clinical practice ...
With which therapy to initiate treatment? Laser, steroid or anti-VEGF? Should we switch treatments? Which regimen do we use? Monthly, PRN or T&E? Is a "One size fits all" or a personalised approach required in DME management?

Concluding remarks Paul Mitchell Australia

Concluding Remarks Ranibizumab has demonstrated well-established efficacy in RCTs utilizing a monthly, PRN or T&E regimen Laser may be useful in certain patient types, but in general laser does not provide an improvement in vision and patients can often lose vision, impacting their QoL Personalised regimens seem to be an appropriate approach to clinically manage DME patients Comorbidities need to be an important clinical consideration in therapy selection /decision making LUMINOUS and additional real world evidence will further enhance our understanding of DME management and patient care
