Optimal dose of ranibizumab for AMD

As published in Ophthalmology, 0.5 mg of ranibizumab (intravitreal) monthly was shown to be the optimal dose for treatment of subfoveal wet AMD. The study involved 1098 patients > 50 years of age who were treated with 0.5 or 2.0 mg of ranibizumab monthly x 12 mos or 0.5 or 2.0 mg of ranibizumab prn after 3 doses. The mean change in baseline BCVA was +10.1, + 8.2, +9.2, and +8.6 letters, respectively. The percentage of patients who increased > 15 letters from baseline was 34.5%, 30.2%, 36.1%, and 33.0%, respectively.
