Listen "ASRS '25: PORTAL 5-year Data in Wet AMD, and Home OCT vs Human Graders"

Episode Synopsis

Time flies: Some wet AMD patients have had the Port Delivery System with Ranibizumab (Susvimo, Genentech/Roche) for more than 5 years. How well does vision hold up at 5 years? And how do those numbers compare to 5-year endpoints in injection-based studies? John Kitchens, MD, reviews the dynamics around the PORTAL study, which assessed outcomes after 5 years of PDS treatment. And Krishna Mukkamala, MD, reviews data from a first-ever study validating longitudinal performance of AI-based home OCT (Scanly Home OCT, Notal Vision) compared with human experts. Just how sensitive and specific was home OCT compared with human graders?
