ABSTRACT
Ranibizumab has proven its efficacy in various retinal diseases and particularly in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). The number of injections and the frequent follow-up visits has been burdensome to patients particularly during the COVID era. Ranibizumab port delivery system (RPDS) seems to be a boon in prolonging the action of the drug without the need for frequent injections and follow-up visits. This review article highlights the dosage, adverse effects, and visual outcome associated with various trials of RPDS. For this article, we conducted a PubMed search and review of literature on nAMD, the incidence of AMD, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents, RPDS, phase-1 trial of RPDS, phase-2 (LADDER trial) of RPDS, phase-3 (ARCHWAY trial) of RPDS, PORTAL trial of RPDS, results of phase-1 trial of RPDS, results of phase-2 (LADDER) trial of RPDS, and results of phase-3 (ARCHWAY) trial of RPDS.
