PURPOSE: To compare the efficacy between initial 3-monthly intravitreal conbercept monotherapy and combination intravitreal conbercept with photodynamic therapy (PDT) for polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV).
METHODS: This is a retrospective, comparative study which involved 65 PCV eyes of 65 patients. According to the therapeutic regimen, the PCV patients were divided into two groups: 32 eyes with naive PCV received a PDT after the first intravitreal injection of conbercept (IVC) followed by pro re nata (prn) retreatment (combination group), and 33 eyes with naïve PCV received 3-monthly IVC monotherapy followed by prn regimen (IVC monotherapy group). All patients completed at least 6 months of monthly follow-up.
RESULTS: At month 6, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved significantly (P < 0.05) in both groups compared with that at baseline; the mean changes of BCVA between the IVC monotherapy group and combination group have no significant difference (-0.22 ± 0.22 vs. -0.17 ± 0.22 LogMAR, P = 0.38). The central retinal thickness (CRT) decreased significantly in the two groups (P < 0.05), with no difference between the two groups (P = 0.24). The complete regression rate of polyps was 58.6% (17 out of 29 eyes) in the IVC monotherapy group and 80.65% (25 out of 31 eyes) in the combination group, respectively (P = 0.09, χ-squared test). The combination group required significantly fewer injections than the IVC monotherapy group (3.09 ± 0.89 vs. 3.67 ± 0.74, P = 0.006).
CONCLUSION: Conbercept monotherapy significantly improved visual acuity and effectively regressed polyps during 6-month follow-up time in the treatment of PCV.
