PHOTON

Eylea® 8mg: The opportunity to extend treatment intervals with confidence

Primary endpoint: mean change in BCVA from baseline to Week 48

With EYLEA® 8mg, patients achieved lasting BCVA gains from baseline with as few as 5 injections in Year 1 (Includes 3 initial monthly doses.)

  • EYLEA® 8mg was non-inferior vs. EYLEA® 2mg

Week 48

Flexibility to extend treatment intervals for eligible DME patients

In PHOTON, ~9 out of 10 patients maintained 16-week treatment intervals from baseline through Week 48
*

Flexibility to extend treatment intervals for eligible DME patients

*Patients completing Week 48: 2Q8 n=157; 8Q12 n=300; 8Q16 n=156.

Week 96

Flexibility to extend treatment intervals for eligible patients across your DME clinic

In PHOTON, ~9 out of 10 patients achieved a last assigned dosing interval of ≥Q16 at Week 96
*

Flexibility to extend treatment intervals for eligible patients across your DME clinic

*Patients completing Week 96: 8Q12 n=256; 8Q16 n=139.

Flexibility to extend treatment intervals beyond expectations

The first and only anti-VEGF for DME that allows for extension to treatment intervals of Q20 after reaching Q16
*

Flexibility to extend treatment intervals beyond expectations

*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. 
Patients completing Week 96: 8Q12 n=256; 8Q16 n=139.
