简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if drug Faricimab works to treat nAMD, DME or RVO in adults. It will also learn about the safety of drug Faricimab. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does drug Faricimab can improve the best-corrected visual acuity of participants? What medical problems do participants have when inject drug Faricimab? Participants will inject drug Faricimab every month for 3 months. Visit the clinic once every 2 weeks for checkups.
详细描述
Intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapies are used to treat retinal vascular diseases such as neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), diabetic macular edema (DME), and retinal vein occlusion (RVO). However, the clinical effectiveness of such therapies is often suboptimal, often resulting in poor treatment adherence due to the burden of frequent monitoring and injection therapy (every 4-8 weeks). Different approaches have been investigated to improve outcomes in such diseases, including modification of dosing regimens to reduce treatment burden and continued research to identify new drug targets. Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several retinal vascular diseases, including nAMD and DME, and has therefore been identified as a potential new target.
Faricimab (faricimab-svoa; Vabysmo), a bispecific antibody that inhibits both VEGF-A and Ang-2, was developed by Roche/Genentech. Dual-pathway inhibition may provide stronger and longer-lasting efficacy in the treatment of retinal vascular disease. Faricimab is administered via intravitreal injection. It is the first bispecific antibody designed for intraocular use. In January 2022, faricimab was approved in the United States for the treatment of participants with nAMD or DME. And in March 2024, faricimab began to be approved for use in the treatment of patients in our clinic.
Therefore, investigators collected participants who were injected with Faricimab in the clinic and conducted follow-up visits to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and application prospect of Faricimab in the clinic.

研究组 & 干预措施
Injection of faricimab
Intervention: Intravitreal Injections Generic name: faricimab Dosage: 0.05ml (6mg) Frequency: every month Duration: 3 months
干预措施: Faricimab (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA)
时间窗: through study completion, an average of 3 months.
BCVA will be measured at a standard distance of 4 metres under standardised lighting conditions (85-100 candela) by using an ETDRS optometer. Each eye will be tested separately with the participants who wear best corrected vision glasses. The smallest line of letters that the patient can correctly identify will be recorded as their BCVA.Measurements will be taken by trained ophthalmologists at baseline and at time points such as 2 weeks after the start of the trial and 1 month after the start of the trial to ensure consistency.
次要结局
- central retinal thickness (CRT)(through study completion, an average of 3 months.)
- Choroidal neovascularization (CNV)(through study completion, an average of 3 months.)
