Clinical Trials in ROP

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) affects the developing retina, with approximately 28,300 to 45,600 infants diagnosed globally each year. [Stahl.Lancet.2019] Low birth weight and low gestational age are major risk factors for ROP. [Mirghorbani M.Int J Vitreous Retina.2022] Although mild ROP may resolve on its own, severe ROP can lead to retinal detachment, vision impairment, and blindness. [Stahl.Lancet.2019] Treatments for ROP include lasers, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections, and ocular surgery. Laser treatment has been around longer than anti-VEGF injections, but longer-term risks with laser therapy include visual field loss and high myopia. Concerns with anti-VEGF injections include potential systemic exposure to anti-VEGF agents and a higher risk of recurrent ROP compared with laser treatment.
