The treatment landscape for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), diabetic macular edema (DME), diabetic retinopathy (DR), and retinal vein occlusion (RVO) continues to evolve, with ongoing efforts to improve durability and reduce treatment burden. Longer-acting second-generation anti-VEGF therapies, including aflibercept 8 mg and faricimab, have demonstrated the potential to extend dosing intervals while maintaining improved visual and anatomic outcomes across these retinal diseases. Emerging real-world and extension-study data are further informing the long-term safety, efficacy, and clinical application of these therapies. However, adherence barriers, undertreatment, safety considerations, access disparities, and uncertainty regarding patient selection continue to present challenges in achieving optimal outcomes. Clinicians must also understand differences in clinical trial design to critically interpret emerging evidence and apply durability data into individualized patient care. In this Rapid Response CE activity, experts in the field review abstracts presented at The American Society of Retina Specialists and discuss recent clinical evidence on approved second-generation anti-VEGF therapies to support evidence-based management of treatment naïve and previously treated patients with retinal diseases.

Second-generation anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapies approved for the management of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), diabetic macular edema (DME), and retinal vein occlusion (RVO) continue to be evaluated in ongoing clinical and real-world studies. Findings from these studies provide additional insights to guide the incorporation of these therapies into clinical practice, with the goal of enhancing visual and anatomic outcomes while reducing treatment burden in patients with retinal diseases. Although keeping up to date with emerging data can be challenging, doing so is essential for the optimal integration of second-generation anti-VEGF therapies into patient care. In this CE activity, experts in the field evaluate recent clinical evidence on approved second-generation anti-VEGF therapies to inform the management of treatment naive and previously treated patients with retinal diseases.   To claim CME credit, please visit HealioCME.com and search for this activity title
