1. What is Lucentis and what is it used for

What is Lucentis

Luentis is a solution that is injected into the eye. Lucentis belongs to a group of medications called anti-neovascular agents. It contains the active ingredient called ranibizumab.

What is Lucentis used for

Luentis is used in adults to treat several eye diseases that cause vision impairment.

These diseases are the result of a retinal injury (the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye) caused by:

-The growth of abnormal blood vessels that leak fluid. This is seen in diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR, a disease caused by diabetes). It may also be associated with choroidal neovascularization (CNV) due to pathological myopia (PM), angioid streaks, central serous chorioretinopathy or inflammatory CNV.

-Macular edema (swelling of the center of the retina). The cause of this swelling can be diabetes (a disease known as diabetic macular edema (DME)) or a blockage of the retinal veins in the retina (a disease known as retinal vein occlusion (RVO)).

How Lucentis works

Luentis recognizes and specifically binds to a protein called human vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) present in the eyes. In excess, VEGF-A causes the growth of abnormal blood vessels and swelling in the eye that can cause vision impairment in diseases such as AMD, DME, PDR, RVO, PM and CNV. By binding to VEGF-A, Lucentis can prevent it from acting and prevent said abnormal growth and swelling.

In these diseases, Lucentis can help stabilize and, in many cases, improve vision.

2. What you need to know before they give you Lucentis

Do not administer Lucentis

-If you are allergic to ranibizumab or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).

-If you have an infection in the eye or around it.

-If you have severe eye pain or redness (intraocular inflammation).

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor before receiving Lucentis

-Luentis is administered by injection into the eye. Occasionally, after treatment with Lucentis, an infection in the inner part of the eye, eye pain, or redness (inflammation), retinal detachment or tear, or clouding of the lens (cataract) may occur. It is essential to identify and treat such an infection or retinal detachment as soon as possible. Inform your doctor immediately if you notice signs such as eye pain or increased eye discomfort, worsening eye redness, blurry vision or decreased vision, an increase in small spots in your vision, or increased sensitivity to light.

-In some patients, eye pressure may increase temporarily after the injection. Your doctor may monitor your eye pressure after each injection, as you may not be aware of it.

-Inform your doctor if you have had eye diseases or received eye treatment previously, or if you have had a stroke or had transient signs of a stroke (weakness or paralysis of a limb or face, difficulty speaking or understanding). This information will be taken into consideration to evaluate whether Lucentis is the appropriate treatment for you.

For more detailed information on possible side effects that may occur during treatment with Lucentis, see section 4 (“Possible side effects”).

Children and adolescents (under 18 years)

Except for retinopathy of prematurity, the use of Lucentis is not recommended in children and adolescents, as it has not been established in these age groups. For the treatment of premature babies with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), see the other side of the prospectus.

Other medications and Lucentis

Inform your doctor if you are using, have used recently, or may need to use any other medication.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

-Women who may become pregnant should use an effective contraceptive method during treatment and for at least three months after the last Lucentis injection.

-There is no experience with the use of Lucentis in pregnant women. Lucentis should not be used during pregnancy unless the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk to the fetus. If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or intend to become pregnant, consult your doctor before treatment with Lucentis.

-Small amounts of Lucentis may pass into breast milk, so the use of Lucentis is not recommended during breastfeeding. Consult your doctor or pharmacist before treatment with Lucentis.

Driving and operating machinery

After treatment with Lucentis, you may experience temporary blurred vision. If this occurs, do not drive or operate machinery until this symptom disappears.

3. How Lucentis is administered

Lucentis is administered by the ophthalmologist as a single injection in the eye under local anesthesia.The usual dose of a single injection is 0.05ml (which contains 0.5mg of active ingredient). The interval between two doses applied in the same eye must be at least four weeks. All injections will be administered by an ophthalmologist.

To prevent an infection, before the injection, your doctor will carefully wash your eye. Your doctor will also administer a local anesthetic to reduce or prevent any pain you may feel with the injection.

Treatment begins with a Lucentis injection every month. Your doctor will monitor your eye disease and, depending on how you respond to treatment, will decide if you need or do not need further treatment and when you need to be treated.

At the end of the prospectus in the section "How to prepare and administer Lucentis in adults" detailed use instructions are given.

Patients aged 65years and older)

Lucentis can be used in people 65years of age or older, and no dose adjustment is necessary.

Before interrupting treatment with Lucentis

If you are considering interrupting treatment with Lucentis, attend the next consultation and discuss it with your doctor beforehand. Your doctor will advise you and decide for how long you should be treated with Lucentis.

If you have any other questions about the use of this medication, ask your doctor.

This information is intended solely for healthcare professionals:

See also section 3 “How to administer Lucentis”.

How to prepare and administer Lucentis in adults

Vial for single use. Only for intravitreal use.

Lucentis should be administered by an ophthalmologist experienced in the administration of intravitreal injections.

In the exudative age-related macular degeneration, in the neovascular glaucoma, in the retinal detachment and in the visual alteration due to EMD or to secondary macular edema to OVR the recommended dose of Lucentis is 0.5 mg administered as a single intravitreal injection. This corresponds to a volume of injection of 0.05 ml. The interval between two injected doses in the same eye should be at least four weeks.

The treatment starts with a monthly injection until the maximum visual acuity is reached and/or there are no signs of disease activity, i.e. no change in visual acuity or in other signs and symptoms of the disease under continued treatment.In patients with exudative age-related macular degeneration, EMD, retinal detachment and OVR initially three or more consecutive injections may be required, administered monthly.

From then on, the monitoring and treatment intervals should be determined according to medical judgment and based on the disease activity, evaluated by visual acuity and/or anatomical parameters.

The treatment with Lucentis should be discontinued if, under medical judgment, the visual and anatomical parameters indicate that the patient is not benefiting from continued treatment.

The monitoring to determine the disease activity may include clinical examination, functional control or imaging techniques (e.g. optical coherence tomography or fluorescein angiography).

If patients are being treated according to a treat and extend regimen, once the maximum visual acuity has been reached and/or there are no signs of disease activity, the treatment intervals can be gradually spaced until signs of disease activity or visual alteration reappear. In the case of exudative age-related macular degeneration, the treatment interval should not be spaced more than two weeks at a time, and in the case of EMD it can be spaced up to one month at a time. For retinal detachment and OVR, the treatment intervals can also be gradually spaced, however the data available are not sufficient to determine the duration of these intervals. If disease activity reappears, the treatment interval should be shortened accordingly.

The treatment of visual alteration due to neovascular glaucoma should be determined on an individual basis for each patient, based on the disease activity. Some patients may only need one injection during the first 12 months; others may need more frequent treatment, including a monthly injection. In the case of neovascular glaucoma secondary to pathological myopia (MP), many patients may only need one or two injections during the first year.

Lucentis and laser photocoagulation in EMD and secondary macular edema to branch vein occlusion (ORVR)

There is some experience with Lucentis administered concomitantly with laser photocoagulation. When administered on the same day, Lucentis should be administered at least 30 minutes after laser photocoagulation. Lucentis can be administered in patients who have previously received laser photocoagulation.

Lucentis and verteporfin photodynamic therapy in neovascular glaucoma secondary to MP

There is no experience with the concomitant administration of Lucentis and verteporfin.

Before administering Lucentis, the absence of particles and discoloration should be visually checked.

The injection procedure should be carried out under aseptic conditions, including surgical hand washing, the use of sterile gloves, a sterile field, a sterile eyelid speculum (or equivalent) and the availability of a sterile paracentesis (if necessary). Before performing the intravitreal injection procedure, the patient's medical history should be thoroughly evaluated for hypersensitivity reactions. Before the injection, an adequate anesthesia and a broad-spectrum topical antimicrobial should be administered to disinfect the skin of the periocular area, eyelid and ocular surface, in accordance with local practice.

Package with vial only

The vial is for single use. After the injection, any unused product should be discarded. Any vial showing signs of deterioration or manipulation should not be used. Sterility can only be guaranteed if the packaging seal remains intact.

The following medical devices are required for the preparation and intravitreal injection of Lucentis in adults:

-a 5 µm filter needle (18G); not included in the Lucentis package

-a sterile 1 ml syringe (including a 0.05 ml mark); not included in the Lucentis package

-a 30G x ½″ injection needle.

These medical devices are not included in the Lucentis package.

Package with vial + needle with filter

All components are sterile and for single use. Any component whose packaging shows signs of deterioration or manipulation should not be used. Sterility can only be guaranteed if the packaging seal of the components remains intact. Reuse may lead to infection or other disease/lesion.

The following medical devices are required for the preparation and intravitreal injection of Lucentis in adults:

-a 5 µm filter needle (18G x 1½″, 1.2 mm x 40 mm, 5 micrometers); supplied

-a sterile 1 ml syringe (including a 0.05 ml mark); not included in the Lucentis package

-a 30G x ½″ injection needle; not included in the Lucentis package

For the preparation and intravitreal injection of Lucentis in adults, follow the instructions for use provided with the Lucentis package.

The injection needle should be inserted 3.5-4.0 mm behind the limbus in the vitreous cavity, avoiding the horizontal meridian and in the direction of the optic nerve. Subsequently, the volume of injection of 0.05 ml should be released; subsequent injections should be applied each time in a different scleral point.

After the injection, the needle should not be capped with the stopper or separated from the syringe. The used syringe and needle should be disposed of in a sharps container or according to local regulations.

1.What is Lucentis and what is it used for

What is Lucentis

Lucentis is a solution that is injected into the eye. Lucentis belongs to a group of medicines called anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agents. It contains the active ingredient ranibizumab.

What is Lucentis used for

Lucentis is used in babies born preterm to treat retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), a disease that causes visual impairment due to abnormal growth of blood vessels in the eye.

How Lucentis works

Lucentis recognizes and binds specifically to a protein called human vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) present in the eye. In excess, VEGF-A causes the abnormal growth of blood vessels in the eye. Lucentis can prevent this and prevent abnormal growth.

2.What you need to know before Lucentis is administered to your baby

Do not administer Lucentis to your baby

-If your baby is allergic to ranibizumab or to any of the other components of this medicine (including those listed in section 6).

-If your baby has an eye infection or around the eye.

-If your baby has severe eye inflammation (intraocular inflammation).

Warnings and precautions

Consult your baby's doctor before administering Lucentis to your baby

-Lucentis is administered by injection into the eye. Occasionally, after treatment with Lucentis, an eye infection, eye inflammation, retinal detachment or retinal pigment epithelium detachment, or cataract may occur. It is essential to identify and treat such an infection or retinal detachment as soon as possible. Inform your baby's doctor immediately if your baby experiences eye pain or if eye inflammation worsens.

In some patients, after the injection, the eye pressure may increase for a short period of time. Your baby's doctor may monitor the eye pressure after each injection.

For more detailed information on possible side effects that may occur during treatment with Lucentis, see section 4 (Possible side effects).

Other medicines and Lucentis
