#DRCR Protocol U: Significant anatomic benefit with combination steroid & anti-VEGF dosing for recalcitrant #DME. No benefit of combination dosing seen on change in mean BCVA compared to anti-VEGF monotherapy. #AAO2017@OphthTimes#ModernRetinapic.twitter.com/F3vjYiExEz

Phase 2 Protocol U found that ranibizumab monotherapy and combination with dexamethasone in center-involved DME had similar vision outcomes at 24 wks. Anatomic outcome was better with combination therapy. -- Judy Kim, MD #ModernRetina#AAO2017
- Ophthalmology Times (@OphthTimes) November 11, 2017
Greater drying effect for the combination dexamethasone/ranibizumab group compared to ranibizumab alone, but for nearly all macular diseases the change in macular thickness shows poor correlation to change in visual acuity. -- Rick Spaide, MD #ModernRetina#AAO2017
- Ophthalmology Times (@OphthTimes) November 11, 2017
Protocol U results! Adding dexamethasone does not improve visual acuity as compared to ranibizumab alone in eyes with persistent diabetic macular edema -- Rick Spaide, MD #ModernRetina#AAO2017@aao_ophth

Dr. Srinivas R. Sadda: New term for atrophy--Complete RPE and outer retinal atrophy (complete (c)RORA); GA is a subset of cRORA that excludes the region of presumptive CNV. @aao_ophth#AAO2017#ModernRetina

Inhibition of complement cascade with APL-2 targeting of C3 shows positive efficacy results in phase 2 #FILLY trial. Dose dependent slowing of #GA lesion growth = bringing new hope to patients with #AMD. Forward Together! #AAO2017@OphthTimes#ModernRetinapic.twitter.com/wPTJZQvEVk

Caroline Baumal MD makes strong case incorporating OCT-Angiography into #Retina clinical practice at #AAO2017 while Karl Csaky MD makes strong counter argument - software has a long way to go before seamless integration. @OphthTimes#ModernRetinapic.twitter.com/YxAMbBGL3H
