The Port Delivery System with Ranibizumab for Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Abstract

In the phase 2 Ladder trial, the PDS was generally well tolerated and demonstrated a dose response across multiple end points in patients with nAMD. The PDS 100-mg/ml arm showed visual and anatomic outcomes comparable with monthly intravitreal ranibizumab 0.5-mg injections but with a reduced total number of ranibizumab treatments. The PDS has the potential to reduce treatment burden in nAMD while maintaining vision.
