Abstrakt: Purpose: To evaluate 2-year efficacy, durability, and safety of faricimab in the TENAYA Japan subgroup and pooled global TENAYA/LUCERNE cohort of patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). Methods: Subgroup analysis of TENAYA/LUCERNE (NCT03823287/NCT03823300): phase III, multicentre, randomised, active comparator–controlled, double-masked, non-inferiority trials. Treatment-naïve patients aged ≥ 50 years with nAMD were randomised (1:1) to intravitreal faricimab (6.0 mg up to every 16 weeks [Q16W] after 4 initial Q4W doses) or aflibercept (2.0 mg Q8W after 3 initial Q4W doses). Outcomes were assessed through year 2 for the TENAYA Japan subgroup (N = 133) and global pooled TENAYA/LUCERNE cohort (N = 1329). Results: Vision and anatomic improvements achieved with faricimab at year 1 were maintained over 2 years and were generally comparable between the TENAYA Japan subgroup and pooled TENAYA/LUCERNE cohort. Adjusted mean best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) change from baseline at year 2 for the TENAYA Japan subgroup and global pooled TENAYA/LUCERNE cohort was +7.1 (3.7–10.5) and +4.4 (3.2–5.5) letters in the faricimab arm, respectively, and +5.2 (1.9–8.6) and +4.3 (3.1–5.4) letters in the aflibercept arm, respectively. At week 112, the proportion of faricimab-treated patients on Q16W dosing was 61.0% and 63.1% in the TENAYA Japan subgroup and pooled TENAYA/LUCERNE cohort. Faricimab was well tolerated through year 2. Conclusion: Year 2 TENAYA Japan subgroup findings for faricimab were generally consistent with the pooled global TENAYA/LUCERNE results in patients with nAMD. Vision and anatomical benefits with faricimab were similar to those with aflibercept but with fewer injections. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
