SEATTLE — In this video, Esther M. Bowie, MD, discusses findings presented at the ASRS annual meeting on the efficacy and safety of ranibizumab biosimilars. The study, which evaluated 3,964 patients, was presented by Carl C. Awh, MD, FASRS.
“Basically, he showed they were able to maintain visual acuity with no serious side effects, no inflammatory effects, so that was interesting,” Bowie said.
In addition, Bowie discussed phase 3 findings presented by Min Sagong, MD, PhD, on SB15, an aflibercept biosimilar, after 1 year of treatment in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration.
