Intravitreal anakinra inhibits choroidal neovascular membrane growth in a rat model
Abstract
Purpose: To determine the effect of intravitreal anakinra on choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in an animal model.
Methods: Laser photocoagulation used to rupture Bruch's membrane; animals then assigned to groups based on varying frequency of intravitreal anakinra injections. At day 30, digital angiography was used to measure the CNV area.
Result: Intravitreal anakinra dose-dependently inhibited CNV growth. Injections given one time resulted in a 26% reduction in CNV; in the once weekly group, a 41% reduction was seen; in the twice-weekly group, a 62% reduction was seen (all p < .001).
Conclusion: Suppressing IL-1 function may provide another therapeutic avenue in exudative AMD.
