SAFETY PROFILE OF OCRIPLASMIN FOR SYMPTOMATIC VITREOMACULAR ADHESION

Abstract

Postmarket analyses are limited by significant underreporting, and in the case of ocriplasmin as a first in-class drug, they may not have captured safety events that have only more recently been identified. Nonetheless, postmarket analyses can identify the scope of potential safety events based on real-world experiences. Ocriplasmin administration should be guided by an appropriate and informed risk-benefit discussion with the patient. Ongoing active postmarket surveillance by all practitioners will continue to be critical to better understand this safety profile.
