For intravitreal injection. ( 2.1 ) Neovascular (Wet) Age-Related Macular Degeneration (nAMD) The recommended dose for VABYSMO is 6 mg (0.05 mL of 120 mg/mL solution) administered by intravitreal injection every 4 weeks (approximately every 28 ± 7 days, monthly) for the first 4 doses, followed by optical coherence tomography and visual acuity evaluations 8 and 12 weeks later to inform whether to give a 6 mg dose via intravitreal injection on one of the following three regimens: 1) Weeks 28 and 44; 2) Weeks 24, 36 and 48; or 3) Weeks 20, 28, 36 and 44. Although additional efficacy was not demonstrated in most patients when VABYSMO was dosed every 4 weeks compared to every 8 weeks, some patients may need every 4 week (monthly) dosing after the first 4 doses. Patients should be assessed regularly. ( 2.2 ) Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) VABYSMO is recommended to be dosed by following one of these two dose regimens: 1) 6 mg (0.05 mL of 120 mg/mL solution) administered by intravitreal injection every 4 weeks (approximately every 28 days ± 7 days, monthly) for at least 4 doses. If after at least 4 doses, resolution of edema based on the central subfield thickness (CST) of the macula as measured by optical coherence tomography is achieved, then the interval of dosing may be modified by extensions of up to 4 week interval increments or reductions of up to 8 week interval increments based on CST and visual acuity evaluations; or 2) 6 mg dose of VABYSMO can be administered every 4 weeks for the first 6 doses, followed by 6 mg dose via intravitreal injection at intervals of every 8 weeks (2 months). Although additional efficacy was not demonstrated in most patients when VABYSMO was dosed every 4 weeks compared to every 8 weeks, some patients may need every 4 week (monthly) dosing after the first 4 doses. Patients should be assessed regularly. ( 2.3 ) Macular Edema Following Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO) The recommended dose for VABYSMO is 6 mg (0.05 mL of 120 mg/mL) administered by intravitreal injection every 4 weeks (approximately every 28 ± 7 days, monthly). ( 2.4 ) 2.1 General Dosing Information For intravitreal injection. VABYSMO must be administered by a qualified physician. VABYSMO is available as: Prefilled syringe: A sterile injection filter needle (30-gauge × ½-inch, Extra Thin Wall) with an integrated filter in the hub is provided. Each prefilled syringe should only be used for the treatment of a single eye. Vial: A sterile 5-micron, blunt transfer filter needle (18-gauge × 1½-inch) is provided. Each vial should only be used for the treatment of a single eye.
