WELCOME TO CONFIDENCE, EXTENDED
EYLEA 8 mg is the first and only anti-VEGF in nAMD and DMO that allows for extensions up to Q20*, with a safety profile comparable to EYLEA 2 mg. So you can confidently extend treatment intervals to help optimise your clinic's capacity.1–5
DMO
EYLEA 114.3 mg/mL is indicated in adults for the treatment of neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and visual impairment due to diabetic macular oedema (DMO).1
With EYLEA 8 mg you could optimise your patient’s treatment journey and your clinic’s capacity1–3
whilst minimising treatment burden2,3
across your clinic as far as Q202,3*†
with a safety profile comparable to EYLEA 2 mg1–3
With only 3 loading doses and as few as 8 injections over 2 years1‡§
*Following 3 monthly loading doses, intervals can be extended to Q16, dependent on visual and/or anatomic outcomes, and subsequently to Q20 (e.g. with a T&E regimen) if visual and/or anatomic outcomes are stable. Consult the SmPC for full posology.1
†Extend treatment intervals across your DMO clinic, as far as Q20, for your eligible DMO patients.2,3
‡Patients could receive as few as 8 injections per dosing schedule within the trial protocol.2
§Loading doses refers to the initial monthly dosing phase.2

Primary endpoint: mean change in BCVA from baseline to Week 48
With EYLEA 8 mg, patients achieved lasting BCVA gains from baseline with as few as 5 injections in Year 12*
- EYLEA 8 mg was non-inferior vs. EYLEA 2 mg2
*Includes 3 initial monthly doses.1

In PHOTON, ~9 out of 10 patients maintained 16-week treatment intervals from baseline through Week 482*
*Patients completing Week 48: 2Q8 n=157; 8Q12 n=300; 8Q16 n=156.2

In PHOTON, ~9 out of 10 patients achieved a last assigned dosing interval of ≥Q16 at Week 963*
*Patients completing Week 96: 8Q12 n=256; 8Q16 n=139.3
Extend treatment intervals beyond expectationsThe first and only anti-VEGF for DMO that allows for extension to treatment intervals of Q20 after reaching Q161*
*Following 3 monthly loading doses, intervals can be extended to Q16, dependent on visual and/or anatomic outcomes, and subsequently to Q20 (e.g. with a T&E regimen) if visual and/or anatomic outcomes are stable. Consult the SmPC for full posology1
