    Abstract:

    Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor(anti-VEGF)drugs have become the first choice for the treatment of intraocular neovascularization, but the inconvenience and possible complications caused by frequent intravitreal injection cannot be ignored. Therefore, it is necessary to seek new drugs with long-lasting effects, so as to reduce the number of injections. Brolucizumab, a novel small molecule anti-VEGF drug, has the advantages of stronger tissue penetration, higher drug concentration, smaller injection dose, long-lasting efficacy and longer injection interval. Registered clinical studies and real-world evidence showed that Brolucizumab is non-inferior to aflibercept in efficacy, while its ability to improve intraretinal/subretinal fluid is more significant, and it can maintain a longer dosing interval. In addition, Brolucizumab is safe and has a low incidence of serious adverse events, such as retinal vasculitis reported. Brolucizumab provides a new treatment option for neovascular age-related macular degeneration(nARMD). This article reviews the latest progress of Brolucizumab in the treatment of nARMD.
