Rishi P. Singh, MD: Great, and in this program, we’re going to discuss the biosimilar approval process, review some of the currently available anti-VEGF biosimilars, and share some practical considerations in adopting biosimilars for the treatment of retinal diseases. Thank you so much for joi...
An anti-VEGF medication called AVASTIN (bevacizumab) was approved for use in advanced colon cancers – but the ability to prevent cancerous vascular growth also proved immensely useful in the treatment of neovascular eye diseases. Avastin has been used extensively off-label for intravitreal injection...

AMD, treatments such as anti-VEGF injections can help reduce vision loss. Ongoing research aims to improve understanding and develop new therapies for AMD, providing hope for better management and preservation of vision. Track 18:Vision and the Aging Population ...
new anti-VEGF has been approved, and it could not have come at a better time. As the prevalence of exudative age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD) continues to climb worldwide, Novartis has responded with a new FDA-approved blockbuster medication to combat wet AMD: brolucizumab (Beovu...
When we look at biosimilars, this is a new treatment that we need to put into our refrigerators. We have to decide which patients we may use a biosimilar on, which patients we may use a reference product on, and which patients we have to use a totally different anti-VEGF medication. Th...
