Shots:

  • Results: 98.4% of PDS patients were able to go 6mos. without needing additional treatment & achieved vision outcomes equivalent to patients receive ranibizumab (0.5mg- monthly IVT) & PDS showed non-inferiority & equivalent to monthly ranibizumab in a pre-specified study- well-tolerated with favorable benefit-risk profile
