EYLEA Achieved Rapid, Sustained Outcomes in DME¹

The power with EYLEA delivered rapid and sustained outcomes in the largest phase 3 anti-VEGF clinical trials completed to date in DME (N=862), with improved visual acuity at 52 and 100 weeks.¹

DME—Significant vision gains at 52 and 100 weeks¹

VISTA and VIVID Efficacy Results at 52 Weeks (primary endpoint) and 100 Weeks: Mean Change in BCVA,* as Measured by ETDRS^† Letters, vs Baseline^1,‡

Graph comparing EYLEA 2mg every 8 weeks, and EYLEA 2mg every 4 weeks in DME patients showing VISTA and VIVID ETDRS letters gained over initial and sustained response.

VISTA and VIVID study designs: Two randomized, multicenter, double-masked, controlled studies in which patients with DME (N=862; age range: 23-87 years, with a mean of 63 years) were randomized and received 1) EYLEA 2 mg administered every 8 weeks following 5 initial monthly doses; 2) EYLEA 2 mg administered every 4 weeks; or 3) macular laser photocoagulation (control), at baseline and then as needed. Protocol-specified visits occurred every 28 (±7) days.

In both studies, the primary efficacy endpoint was the mean change from baseline in best-corrected visual acuity at week 52, as measured by Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study letter score.

EYLEA patients who were anti–VEGF–naïve at baseline—57% in VISTA; 91% in VIVID²

On average, visual acuity gains achieved during the initial response period were sustained through 100 weeks⁴

Important Safety Information

CONTRAINDICATIONS

EYLEA® (aflibercept) Injection is contraindicated in patients with ocular or periocular infections, active intraocular inflammation, or known hypersensitivity to aflibercept or to any of the excipients in EYLEA.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Intravitreal injections, including those with EYLEA, have been associated with endophthalmitis and retinal detachments. Proper aseptic injection technique must always be used when administering EYLEA. Patients should be instructed to report any symptoms suggestive of endophthalmitis or retinal detachment without delay and should be managed appropriately. Intraocular inflammation has been reported with the use of EYLEA.
Acute increases in intraocular pressure have been seen within 60 minutes of intravitreal injection, including with EYLEA. Sustained increases in intraocular pressure have also been reported after repeated intravitreal dosing with VEGF inhibitors. Intraocular pressure and the perfusion of the optic nerve head should be monitored and managed appropriately.
There is a potential risk of arterial thromboembolic events (ATEs) following intravitreal use of VEGF inhibitors, including EYLEA. ATEs are defined as nonfatal stroke, nonfatal myocardial infarction, or vascular death (including deaths of unknown cause). The incidence of reported thromboembolic events in wet AMD studies during the first year was 1.8% (32 out of 1824) in the combined group of patients treated with EYLEA compared with 1.5% (9 out of 595) in patients treated with ranibizumab; through 96 weeks, the incidence was 3.3% (60 out of 1824) in the EYLEA group compared with 3.2% (19 out of 595) in the ranibizumab group. The incidence in the DME studies from baseline to week 52 was 3.3% (19 out of 578) in the combined group of patients treated with EYLEA compared with 2.8% (8 out of 287) in the control group; from baseline to week 100, the incidence was 6.4% (37 out of 578) in the combined group of patients treated with EYLEA compared with 4.2% (12 out of 287) in the control group. There were no reported thromboembolic events in the patients treated with EYLEA in the first six months of the RVO studies.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

Serious adverse reactions related to the injection procedure have occurred in <0.1% of intravitreal injections with EYLEA including endophthalmitis and retinal detachment.
The most common adverse reactions (≥5%) reported in patients receiving EYLEA were conjunctival hemorrhage, eye pain, cataract, vitreous detachment, vitreous floaters, and intraocular pressure increased.

INDICATIONS

EYLEA® (aflibercept) Injection 2 mg (0.05 mL) is indicated for the treatment of patients with Neovascular (Wet) Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), Macular Edema following Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO), Diabetic Macular Edema (DME), and Diabetic Retinopathy (DR).
