Effect of Bevacizumab
and Ranibizumab Injection on Corneal Neovascularization
Authors have no relevant financial interests pertaining to this research
What’s the difference?
• Increase its affinity for binding and inhibiting the growth factor
• Higher and fasterretinal penetration ability(smaller molecular size)
• Longer duration of action(larger molecular size)
Anti VEGF therapy of NV in ocular surface disease
•Anti VEGF therapy is also effective on corneal neovascularization : widely acceptedmost studies, using Bevacizumab
PURPOSE
To evaluate and compare the short term effect of
subconjunctival and/or intrastromal Bevacizumab and
Ranibizumab injection on corneal neovascularization(CNV)
in various ocular surface disorders in terms of regression
METHODS
Pateint selection• Longstanding CNV more than 6months without other corneal disease• Prospective randomized study
Injection method • Subconjunctival or intrastromal adjacent corneal NV Group I Bevacizumab (Avastin): 1.25 mg/0.05cc 0.1ml injection
Group II Ranibizumab (Lucentis): 0.5 mg/0.05cc 0.1ml injection
• Patients were followed up at 1, 7, 30 days after treatment.
Analysis of NV regressionPhotographs taken at 1:1.8 magnification using digital camera (x 4.0
zoom up, x10 magnification) under slit lamp examination
Image J software (image processing and analysis in Java, NIH) used to analyze the vascularized corneal area

Bevacizumab injection showed more effective to reduce CNV than Bevacizumab injection showed more effective to reduce CNV than Ranibizumab injection.Ranibizumab injection.
Why? hypothesis
- Ranibizumab : because of low MW, higher clearance rate than Bevacizumab
( half life: 4.32 days Vs 2.88days in animal study via intravitreal injection)
- Subconjunctival space :abundant subconjunctival vessel and lymphatics
much faster clearance than intravitreal cavity
- Fc portion of Bevacizumab: active transport to NV of Bevacizumab ??
mediated by NK cell, Neutrophils ,Macrophage, or mast cells
- Higher effective dosage than in intravitreal use
: especially in case of low MW Ranibizumab
DiscussionVEG
F
Limitation of this study• The improvement of NV measurement technique is needed• Too small cases & short term F/U
• Subconjunctival and intrastromal Bevacizumab
injection is effective to regress CNV induced by various causes during short term follow-up, whereas there is no significant effect for reduction of CNV after Ranibizumab injection.
• Evaluation of potential duration time, side effects and minimal effective dose of Bevacizumab including larger volume of cases in Corneal NV treatment will be needed.
• Further research for the delivery mechanism of subconjunctival Bevacizumab and Ranibizumab will be needed.
