Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors for ophthalmic use: Aflibercept (Eylea) and Ranibizumab (Lucentis)

Bevacizumab (Avastin) is not FDA-approved for use in ophthalmic indications; however, a large body of medical literature supports its use in several ophthalmic indications. Avastin is injected every 4-6 weeks. When used for these indications, bevacizumab must be compounded. The use of pharmacies following the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Chapter 797 requirements for compounding sterile preparations is recommended.

Aflibercept (Eylea, also known as VEGF-Trap Eye) - provides another vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor for neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration and mascular edema following central retinal vein occulsion. Aflibercept acts as a soluble decoy receptor that binds VEGF and thereby can inhibit the binding and activation of VEGF receptors. Eylea is injected every 4-8 weeks.

Ranibizumab (Lucentis) - indicated for the treatment of patients with:

• Neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
• Macular edema following retinal vein occlusion
• Diabetic macular edema.

Lucentis is injected every 4 weeks.

Pegaptanib (Macugen) - indicated for the treatment of patients with Neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Macugen is injected every 4-6 weeks.
