Résumé
Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapies have become the standard of care in the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME), resulting in a remarkable decrease in disease-related vision loss. However, the need for regular injections places a significant burden on patients, caregivers, and the healthcare system and improvements in vision may not be maintained long term. As a result of its drying potency and duration of action, brolucizumab, an intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy approved for the treatment of nAMD and DME, could decrease injection frequency for patients and provide an efficacious treatment; however, balancing its benefits and risks can be challenging. There have been reports of intraocular inflammation (IOI) in patients treated with brolucizumab, which, if left untreated, may result in severe vision loss. Recent evidence, however, indicates that early recognition of IOI and prompt and aggressive systemic corticosteroid treatment in response to posterior segment involvement can lead to favorable outcomes in these relatively rare but severe cases. A series of consensus meetings were conducted in 2022 between Swiss medical retina experts and diabetologists, discussing the current data for brolucizumab and exploring various challenges to its use, including the associated risk of IOI. The outcome is a collation of practical insights and guidance for ophthalmologists on the use of brolucizumab in patients with nAMD and DME, including patient selection and assessment, treatment regimen and monitoring, and the recognition and management of adverse events.
