Taking Stock of Current and Emerging Anti-VEGF Therapy Dosing Regimens for nAMD

Program Overview

Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) is among the leading causes of blindness worldwide. Although the availability of intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapies have shifted the care paradigm for nAMD, the need for frequent injections is a major contributor to the burden of this disease. Consequently, newer treatment strategies that simplify patient care, improve patient satisfaction, increase treatment compliance, and lower the burden of nAMD have been highly sought after.

In this CME activity, 2 leading retina specialists analyze key data on approved and emerging anti-VEGF therapies for nAMD, focusing on the implications of newer agents and dosing regimens on easing the burden of treatment associated with this disease.
