TLDR
Bvacizumab was noninferior to ranibizumAB for visual acuity at 1 year with similar safety profiles, and Ranibizuab tended to have a better anatomic outcome.

Guidelines for the management of neovascular age-related macular degeneration by the European Society of Retina Specialists (EURETINA)

TL;DR: Ground-breaking innovations in diagnostic technologies, such as optical coherence tomography, allows unprecedented high-resolution visualisation of disease morphology and provides a promising horizon for early disease detection and efficient therapeutic follow-up, but definite conclusions from morphologic parameters are still lacking, and valid biomarkers have yet to be identified to provide a practical base for disease management.

Guidelines for the Management of Diabetic Macular Edema by the European Society of Retina Specialists (EURETINA).

TL;DR: As a consequence of recent rigorous clinical trials, laser photocoagulation is no longer recommended for the treatment of diabetic macular edema, and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy has emerged as first-line therapy and Steroids have maintained a role in the management of chronically persistent DME.

Anti‐vascular endothelial growth factor for neovascular age‐related macular degeneration

TL;DR: When compared with control treatments, participants who received any of the three anti-VEGF agents were more likely to have gained 15 letters or more of visual acuity, lost fewer than 15 letters of visual Acuity, and had vision 20/200 or better after one year of follow up.

Comparison of ranibizumab and bevacizumab for neovascular age-related macular degeneration according to LUCAS treat-and-extend protocol.

TL;DR: Bvaczumab and ranibizumab had equivalent effects on visual acuity at 1 year when administered according to a treat-and-extend protocol, and the visual acute results were comparable to those of other clinical trials with monthly treatment.

Ranibizumab for Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration

TL;DR: Intravitreal administration of ranibizumab for 2 years prevented vision loss and improved mean visual acuity, with low rates of serious adverse events, in patients with minimally classic or occult (with no classic lesions) choroidal neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ranibizumab versus Verteporfin for Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration

TL;DR: Ranibizumab was superior to verteporfin as intravitreal treatment of predominantly classic neovascular age-related macular degeneration, with low rates of serious ocular adverse events and treatment improved visual acuity on average at 1 year.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ranibizumab and bevacizumab for neovascular age-related macular degeneration.

TL;DR: Ranibizumab given as needed with monthly evaluation had effects on vision that were equivalent to those of ranibizuab administered monthly, although the comparison between bevacizumAB as needed and monthly bevicizumabs was inconclusive.

Reporting of noninferiority and equivalence randomized trials: an extension of the CONSORT statement.

TL;DR: An updated extension of the CONSORT checklist for reporting noninferiority and equivalence trials is presented, based on the 2010 version of theconsORT Statement and the 2008 CONSORT Statement for the reporting of abstracts, and illustrative examples and explanations for those items that differ from the main 2010consORT checklist are provided.
