ABSTRACT: Purpose
To evaluate the anatomical and functional outcomes with ocriplasmin in patients with vitreomacular traction (VMT) with or without macular hole (MH).Methods
In a Phase 4, multicenter, single-arm, open-label study, eligible patients (VMT with focal adhesion, without epiretinal membrane, and with MH ≤400 µm [if present]) received a single intravitreal injection of ocriplasmin. Nonsurgical resolution of VMT (Day 28 [primary endpoint]), best-corrected visual acuity, MH closure, vitrectomy rate, and safety were assessed through Day 180.Results
Overall, 466 patients were included in the full analysis set, of whom 47.4% had VMT resolution by Day 28; resolution rates in patients with VMT without MH, VMT with MH ≤250 µm, and VMT with MH >250 to ≤400 µm were 43.4%, 68.6%, and 62.7%, respectively. Macular hole closure was higher in eyes with VMT and MH ≤250 µm (57.1%) than in eyes with VMT and MH >250 to ≤400 µm (27.5%) at Day 28. Overall, 30.8% of patients with VMT resolution gained ≥10 letters in best-corrected visual acuity at Day 180. Adverse events were consistent with the known safety profile of ocriplasmin.Conclusion
Ocriplasmin is effective for resolution of VMT without or with MH (≤400 μm); treatment outcomes can be optimized with patient selection.
