Abstract
Background and objective

Intravitreal Ziv-Aflibercept (ZA-IV) is a recombinant fusion protein used to treat macular diseases. Several studies have demonstrated its efficacy and safety. The objective was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ZA-IV in the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME) and macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO).

Materials and methods

Systematic review with meta-analysis (PROSPERO: CRD42024542788), with searches in PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science up to April 2024. Observational studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included. Efficacy was determined by best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central macular thickness (CMT). Safety was assessed based on the reports in the studies. Risk of bias was assessed using the Robins-I and Cochrane RoB 2.0 tools.

Results

Of 503 studies, 8 observational studies and 5 RCTs were included. In DME, RCTs showed a reduction in CMT (−105 μm; 95% CI: −129.8 to −80.3; I2: 0%) and in BCVA a LogMAR reduction (−0.29; 95% CI: −0.36 to −0.21; I2: 0%). Observational studies in DME showed a reduction in CMT (−108 μm; 95% CI: −133 to −83.1; I2: 34%) and in BCVA a LogMAR reduction (−0.2; 95% CI: −0.26 a −0.14; I2: 0%). In RVO, RCTs showed a reduction in CMT (−230 μm; 95% CI: −367 to −94; I2: 46%). Observational studies in EMSOV showed a reduction in GMC (−160 μm; 95% CI: −257 to −64; I2: 74%) and in BCVA (best corrected visual acuity) a reduction in LogMAR (−0.2; 95% CI: −0.26 to −0.14; I2: 50%). No serious ocular or systemic adverse effects were reported.

Conclusion

ZA-IV demonstrated efficacy and is potentially safe for the treatment of EMD and EMSOV.

Resumen
Antecedente y objetivo

Ziv-Aflibercept intravítreo (ZA-IV) es una proteína de fusión recombinante utilizada para tratar patologías maculares. Diversos estudios han demostrado su eficacia y su seguridad. El objetivo fue evaluar la eficacia y la seguridad de ZA-IV en el tratamiento del edema macular diabético (EMD) y del edema macular secundario a oclusiones venosas (EMSOV).

Material y métodos

Revisión sistemática con metaanálisis (PROSPERO: CRD42024542788), con búsqueda en PubMed, EMBASE y Web of Science hasta abril de 2024. Se incluyeron estudios observacionales y ensayos clínicos (ECA). La eficacia se determinó a través de la agudeza visual mejor corregida (AVMC) y grosor macular central (GMC). La seguridad se evaluó según los reportes de los estudios. Se evaluó el riesgo de sesgo con Robins-I y RoB V.2 de Cochrane.

Resultados

De 503 estudios, se incluyeron 8 estudios observacionales y 5 ECA. En EMD, los ECA mostraron una reducción en GMC (−105 μm; IC 95%: −129,8 a −80,3; I2: 0%) y en AVMC una reducción LogMAR (−0,29; IC 95%: −0,36 a −0,21; I2: 0%). Los estudios observacionales en EMD mostraron reducción en GMC (−108 μm; IC 95%: −133 a −83,1; I2: 34%) y en AVMC una reducción LogMAR (−0,2; IC 95%: −0,26 a −0,14; I2: 0%). En EMSOV, los ECA mostraron una reducción en GMC (−230 μm; IC 95%: −367 a −94, I2: 46%). Los estudios observacionales en EMSOV mostraron una reducción en GMC (−160 μm; IC 95%: −257 a 64; I2: 74%;) y en AVMC una reducción en LogMAR (−0,2; IC 95%: −0,26 a −0,14; I2: 50%;) No se reportaron efectos adversos severos oculares ni sistémicos.

Conclusión

ZA-IV demostró ser efectivo y posiblemente seguro para el tratamiento del EMD y del EMSOV.
