Comprehensive Preclinical Assessment of ADVM-022, an Intravitreal Anti-VEGF Gene Therapy for the Treatment of Neovascular AMD and Diabetic Macular Edema.
Article in Journal of ocular pharmacology and therapeutics : the official journal of the Association for Ocular Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor is the mode of action for several approved therapies, including aflibercept, for the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME). Lack of compliance due to the frequent intravitreal dosing requirements may result in inadequately treated disease, leading to irreversible vision impairment. To date, the majority of gene therapy clinical trials providing sustained anti-VEGF levels in the retina have been limited to subretinal injections requiring a vitrectomy. A single intravitreal injection of a gene therapy product could drastically reduce the treatment burden and improve visual outcomes. ADVM-022, an adeno-associated virus vector encoding aflibercept, has been optimized for intravitreal delivery and strong protein expression. Long-term expression and efficacy of ADVM-022-derived aflibercept were evaluated in a laser-induced choroidal neovascularization (CNV) model in non-human primates. Ocular safety was evaluated following long-term suppression of VEGF by clinical scoring (inflammatory parameters) as well as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and electroretinography (ERG). Intravitreal administration of ADVM-022 was well tolerated and resulted in sustained aflibercept levels in ocular tissues. In addition, ADVM-022 administration 13 months before laser-induced CNV prevented the occurrence of clinically relevant CNV lesions, to the same degree as a bolus of aflibercept delivered at the time of laser. These results demonstrate that a single intravitreal administration of ADVM-022 may provide a safe and effective long-term treatment option for nAMD and DME, and may ultimately improve patients' visual outcomes. Clinical trials are currently underway, evaluating safety and efficacy following a single intravitreal injection of ADVM-022.
