Visual acuity

Beovu demonstrated non-inferiority vs aflibercept in mean BCVA change from baseline to Week 48^1,2

• Visual acuity gains achieved at Week 48 with a majority of patients on a q12w interval¹
• The vision gains were maintained at Week 96²
• In both trials, ~30% of patients gained at least 15 letters with Beovu at Week 48¹

The primary efficacy endpoint for the studies was the mean change from baseline in BCVA to Week 48 as measured by the ETDRS Letter Score with the primary objective to demonstrate non-inferiority of Beovu vs aflibercept.¹ Beovu (q12w/q8w) demonstrated non-inferiority in VA to aflibercept 2 mg (fixed q8w).¹

BCVA, best corrected visual acuity; ETDRS, Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study; q8w, once every 8 weeks; q12w, once every 12 weeks; VA, visual acuity.
