Ranibizumab 0.3 mg for Persistent Diabetic Macular Edema After Recent, Frequent, and Chronic Bevacizumab: The ROTATE Trial.
Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers & Imaging Retina 2016 November 2
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of 0.3 mg ranibizumab (Lucentis; Genentech, South San Francisco, CA) in eyes with persistent diabetic macular edema (DME) after recent, chronic, and frequent bevacizumab (Avastin; Genentech, South San Francisco, CA).
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Open-label, prospective study of 0.3 mg ranibizumab for eyes with persistent DME after bevacizumab. Thirty eyes randomized to a sustained group or a pro re nata (PRN) dosing group.
RESULTS: The mean change in ETDRS best-corrected visual acuity from baseline to 1 year was +6.7 letters in the sustained group, +6.4 letters in the PRN group, and +6.5 letters overall. There was an overall mean reduction of 116 µm from baseline central subfield thickness at 1 year, with -92 µm and -127 µm decreases in the sustained and PRN groups, respectively. Adverse events included two deaths; one patient with multiple cardiopulmonary comorbidities, myocardial infarction, stroke, osteomyelitis; and mild posterior subcapsular cataracts in two eyes.
CONCLUSION: Ranibizumab 0.3 mg demonstrated improved visual and anatomic outcomes in patients with persistent DME following bevacizumab. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2016;47:1030-1037.].
