Abstract
- The article reports that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) stops the use of Avastin intravitreal injections for treating any ophthalmic conditions on September 21, 2011. It mentions that VA will reassess how Avastin and similar therapies may be made available for ophthalmologic use. It adds that the decision of VA may boost demand for injectable drug Eylea, which is anticipated to secure final Food and Drug Admonistration approval in November.
