Therapeutic value

Current treatment options Anti-VEGF (bevacizumab en ranibizumab), laser en cryo-therapie
Therapeutic value No estimate possible yet
Substantiation Naar verwachting zal laserbehandeling de eerste keuze van behandeling bij ernstige ROP blijven. Anti-VEGF kan aanvullend zinvol zijn, of als laser niet mogelijk is. Tevens zijn de lange termijn effecten niet bekend voor anti-VEGF in de ogen bij prematuren. Er wordt daarom voorzichtiger met anti-VEGF behandeld. Ook bevacizumab en ranibizumab zijn al geregistreerd voor deze indicatie.
Duration of treatment one-off
Dosage per administration 0,4 mg
References NCT04004208
Additional remarks Subjects randomized to aflibercept will receive a intravitreal (IVT) injection of aflibercept per eligible eye at baseline and, if needed, up to a defined number of additional injections in each eye.
