Treatment Landscape of Macular Disorders in Indian Patients with the Advent of Razumab™ (World’s First Biosimilar Ranibizumab): A Comprehensive Review
Ranibizumab is approved for the treatment of several macular disorders, including wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD), diabetic macular edema (DME), retinal vein occlusion (RVO) and myopic choroidal neovascularization (mCNV), among others. The unaffordability of the innovator ranibizumab...

description | Ranibizumab is approved for the treatment of several macular disorders, including wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD), diabetic macular edema (DME), retinal vein occlusion (RVO) and myopic choroidal neovascularization (mCNV), among others. The unaffordability of the innovator ranibizumab among patients from developing countries such as India led to the development of the world’s first biosimilar ranibizumab, which is a cost-effective alternative that does not compromise efficacy and safety. Razumab™, developed and produced by Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd., India, is the world’s first biosimilar of ranibizumab, and is approved in India for the treatment of various macular disorders, including wet AMD, DME, RVO and mCNV. The efficacy and safety of Razumab for the treatment of these macular disorders have been evaluated in both prospective and real-world retrospective studies. Razumab has shown an efficacy similar to that of the innovator ranibizumab, achieving improved visual acuity, as measured by the best corrected visual acuity, and reduction in the central macular thickness, leading to improved patient outcomes. The safety profile of Razumab is comparable to that of the innovator ranibizumab and is well tolerated without any new safety concerns. Here, we review the clinical and real-world data of Razumab in the treatment of macular disorders. |
