Diabetic Retinopathy

Roche, Ainnova, and Salud 360 signed this alliance to improve access to vision screening in patients with uncontrolled diabetes.

A case report demonstrates independent effect of GLP-1 receptor agonist.

A recent cohort study revealed low adoption of FDA-approved AI-based diabetic retinopathy detection, with less than 5% of diabetic patients receiving ophthalmic imaging. Researchers emphasize the need for improved awareness, cost-effectiveness, and integration to increase diabetic retinopathy screening rates.

Christina Y. Weng, MD, MBA, shared insights from recent publications on teleretinal screenings for diabetic retinopathy. She will be presenting an overview of these findings at the annual American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting being held in Chicago, Illinois during a talk entitled, "The use of teleretinal screening for diabetic retinopathy."

In the first five months of the program at Henrietta Johnson Medical Center, 26% of patients with images gradable by EyeArt tested positive for either more-than-mild or vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy.

AEYE Health will attend the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) Annual Meeting, from October 18-21 in Chicago.

Shruti Sharma, PhD, and a team from the MCG Center for Biotechnology and Genomic Medicine, hope to focus in on a new treatment pathway for diabetic retinopathy.

Dilsher Dhoot, MD, sat down with Modern Retina to provide some insights on the phase 1 HELIOS trial, which he presented on during the 2024 ASRS meeting held in Stockholm, Sweden earlier in 2024.

Dvey-Aharon is an internationally known AI expert and the inventor of AEYE-DS.

Efferocytosis’ role in retinopathy is largely unknown despite knowledge of the process in other diseases.

Michael Abramoff, MD, PhD, a retina specialist and founder and executive chairman of Digital Diagnostics, points out that much evidence has been collected over the past few decades showing that early detection is key.

In a study, a team of researchers with the OhioHealth Grant Medical Center Family Medicine practice implemented diabetic retinopathy screening using in-clinic retinal photographs and automated software analysis to increase screening rates.

The 2-year Phase III data presented at the American Society of Retina Specialists 2024 in Stockholm, Sweden, show Susvimo’s potential as an alternative to eye injections to treat diabetic macular edema and diabetic retinopathy.

Paolo Antonio Silva, MD, discusses his presentation on diabetic retinopathy lesion types and distribution on ultra-widefield imaging and the risk for disease worsening over time at the American Society of Retina Specialists meeting held in Stockholm, Sweden.

Jennifer I. Lim, MD, FARVO, FASRS, sat down with Sydney M. Crago, Assistant Managing Editor of Ophthalmology Times and Modern Retina, to discuss her ASRS 2024 presentation, "Differential Artery-Vein Analysis Improves OCTA Performance for Artificial Intelligence Classification of Diabetic Retinopathy."

The results were presented at a symposium during the American Diabetes Association's 84th Scientific Sessions in Orlando, Florida, and mark the first large-scale trial specifically designed to investigate the effect of fenofibrate on eye outcomes in people with early diabetic retinopathy.

The mapping method revealed prominent microscopic abnormalities consistent with DR

Understanding how the intricate networks of blood vessels in the eye and brain are formed ultimately could inspire new treatments for conditions like diabetic retinopathy and stroke.

According to the company, GLOW2 is the second Phase 3 study of tarcocimab in diabetic retinopathy in which all patients on investigational therapy will receive tarcocimab on extended dosing intervals.

While it fell short of the primary endpoint of improvement of non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) of at least 2 Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Scale (DRSS) levels as of week 36, DURAVYU did demonstrate stable or improved disease severity with reduced rates of NPDR in 9 months.

At this year's ARVO meeting, Paolo Silva, MD, presented data on Protocol AA on behalf of the DRCR Retina Network and the effect of diabetic retinopathy lesion location and severity on the risk for progression in the long term.

The diagnostic screening technology is able to diagnose diabetic retinopathy by using 1 image taken of each eye with over 99% imageability.

According to the company, 46.2% of patients demonstrated a 1- or 2-step improvement in the Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Scale (DRSS) at 40 weeks in the Axpaxli arm, compared to 0% in the control arm.

The trial evaluated nesvategrast (OTT166 5%) eye drops in patients with diabetic retinopathy.

Data will be shared in early 2024 regarding this potential treatment of diabetic retinopathy via eye drop.

EURETINA 2023 highlighted important DME and DR research and data from across the globe.

Researchers are addressing growing concern over vision loss in people taking semaglutideat the American Academy of Ophthalmology annual meeting in San Francisco.
