PURPOSE: To compare a treat-and-extend (TAE) strategy with a fixed dosing regimen of intravitreal conbercept (IVC) for the management of treatment-naïve polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) patients.
METHODS: 249 patients with treatment-naïve PCV were randomized 1:1 to fixed dosing regimen with injections every 12 weeks (3 + Q12W) group or treat-and-extend regimen(3 + TAE) group. Patients received 3 monthly intravitreal injections of 0.5 mg conbercept as loading dose in both groups. The 3 + Q12W patients were monitored monthly and received mandated injections every 12 weeks; the 3 + TAE patients were monitored and treated monthly until the resolution of exudative disease activity; the interval between visits was then individualized according to study protocol. Visual and anatomical outcomes were compared between the two groups.
RESULTS: At 48 weeks, there was no significant difference between the 3 + Q12W group and 3 + TAE group in mean BCVA improvement (p = 0.421), mean changes in central retinal thickness (CRT) (p = 0.818), maximum retinal thickness (MRT) (p = 0.448), pigment epithelial detachment (PED) height (p = 0.221), PED volume (p = 0.076), branching vascular network (BVN) area (p = 0.615), polypoidal lesion number (p = 0.701), polypoidal lesion area (p = 0.424), rates of patients who avoided vision loss of ≥15 ETDRS letters (p = 0.397) or complete polypoidal lesion regression rate (43.8% vs. 41.8%, p = 0.814). The 3 + Q12W group had more decreased retinal haemorrhage area (p = 0.014) and fewer mean numbers of injections comparing with 3 + TAE group (6.6 vs. 9.4, p < 0.001). Mean maximum extension interval between injections after loading injections was 9.6 ± 2.0 weeks for 3 + TAE group, with 27.8% of patients achieving an extension interval of 12 weeks and 61.1% patients 8 weeks or more.
CONCLUSIONS: Both 3 + Q12W and 3 + TAE regimens of IVC could result in improvement in visual and anatomical outcomes in PCV patients.
