Photodynamic Therapy of Subfoveal Choroidal Neovascularization in Age-Related Macular Degeneration With Verteporfin

Two-Year Results of 2 Randomized Clinical Trials—TAP Report 2

Treatment of Age-Related Macular Degeneration With Photodynamic Therapy (TAP) Study Group

Arch Ophthalmol. 2001;119:198-207.

Objective  To report 24-month vision and fluorescein angiographic outcomes from trials evaluating photodynamic therapy with verteporfin (Visudyne; CIBA Vision Corp, Duluth, Ga) in patients with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) caused by age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Design  Two multicenter, double-masked, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trials.

Setting  Twenty-two ophthalmology practices in Europe and North America.

Participants  Patients with subfoveal CNV lesions caused by AMD with greatest linear dimension on the retina measuring 5400 µm or less, with evidence of classic CNV and best-corrected visual acuity (approximate Snellen equivalent) between 20/40 and 20/200.

Methods  The methods were similar to those described in our 1-year results,1 with follow-up examinations beyond 1 year continuing every 3 months (except for Photograph Reading Center evaluations, which occurred only at month 18 and month 24 examinations). During the second year, the same regimen (with verteporfin or placebo as applied at baseline) was used if angiography showed fluorescein leakage from CNV. The primary outcome was the proportion of eyes with fewer than 15 letters (approximately 3 lines) of visual acuity loss at the month 24 examination, adhering to an intent-to-treat analysis. The last observation was carried forward to impute for any missing data.

Results  Three hundred fifty-one (87%) of 402 patients in the verteporfin group compared with 178 (86%) of 207 patients in the placebo group completed the month 24 examination. Beneficial outcomes with respect to visual acuity and contrast sensitivity noted at the month 12 examination in verteporfin-treated patients were sustained through the month 24 examination. At the month 24 examination for the primary outcome, 213 (53%) of 402 verteporfin-treated patients compared with 78 (38%) of 207 placebo-treated patients lost fewer than 15 letters (P<.001). In subgroup analyses for predominantly classic lesions (in which the area of classic CNV makes up at least 50% of the area of the entire lesion) at baseline, 94 (59%) of 159 verteporfin-treated patients compared with 26 (31%) of 83 placebo-treated patients lost fewer than 15 letters at the month 24 examination (P<.001). For minimally classic lesions (in which the area of classic CNV makes up <50% but >0% of the area of the entire lesion) at baseline, no statistically significant differences in visual acuity were noted. Few additional photosensitivity adverse reactions and injection site adverse events were associated with verteporfin therapy in the second year of follow-up.

Conclusions  The visual acuity benefits of verteporfin therapy for AMD patients with predominantly classic CNV subfoveal lesions are safely sustained for 2 years, providing more compelling evidence to use verteporfin therapy for these cases. For AMD patients with subfoveal lesions that are minimally classic, there is insufficient evidence to warrant routine use of verteporfin therapy.
