Global experience of faricimab in clinical settings - a review.
Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy 2024 April
INTRODUCTION: Faricimab is a bispecific antibody that acts to reduce neoangiogenesis in exudative retinal vascular disorders. It is approved for use in neovascular age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema. We review the published efficacy and safety of faricimab in clinical settings.
AREAS COVERED: A comprehensive literature review was conducted. Based on the 14 published real-world studies, 1127 patients (1204 eyes) were treated with faricimab. The majority of studies (14) included pre-treated patients. Most studies (13) showed central macular thickness improvement. However visual acuity improved in only half of the studies analyzed. Four studies demonstrated an extension of the treatment. Only 4 eyes (0.33%) reported intraocular inflammation and 3 eyes (0.24%) reported retinal pigment epithelial tear.
EXPERT OPINION: The clinical experience with faricimab to date has the potential to provide a stable visual outcome with reduced treatment burden in cases that are resistant to other approved anti-VEGF agents. There are no major safety concerns based on this data analysis.
