`
`ABSTRACT
`
`The present invention provides methods for treating angiogenic eye disorders by sequentially
`
`administering multiple doses of a VEGF antagonist to a patient. The methodsof the present
`
`invention include the administration of multiple doses of a VEGF antagonist to a patient at a
`
`frequency of once every 8 or more weeks. The methods of the present invention are useful for the
`
`treatment of angiogenic eye disorders such as age related macular degeneration, diabetic
`
`retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, central retinal vein occlusion, branch retinal vein occlusion,
`
`and corneal neovascularization.

`
`1.
`
`A method for treating an angiogenic eye disorder in a patient, said method comprising
`
`sequentially administering to the patient a single initial dose of a VEGF antagonist, followed by one
`
`or more secondary dosesof the VEGF antagonist, followed by one or moretertiary doses of the
`
`VEGF antagonist;
`
`wherein each secondary dose is administered 2 to 4 weeksafter the immediately preceding
`
`dose; and
`
`wherein eachtertiary dose is administered at least 8 weeks after the immediately preceding
`
`dose.
`
`2.
`
`The method of claim 1, wherein only a single secondary dose is administered to the
`
`patient, and wherein the single secondary dose is administered 4 weeksafter the initial dose of the
`
`VEGF antagonist.
`
`3.
`
`The method of claim 1, wherein only two secondary doses are administered to the
`
`patient, and wherein each secondary doseis administered 4 weeksafter the immediately preceding
`
`dose.
`
`4.
`
`The method of claim 3, wherein each tertiary dose is administered 8 weeksafter the
`
`immediately preceding dose.
`
`5.
`
`The method of claim 1, wherein at least 5 tertiary doses of the VEGF antagonist are
`
`administered to the patient, and wherein the first four tertiary doses are administered 8 weeksafter
`
`the immediately preceding dose, and wherein each subsequenttertiary dose is administered 8 or
`
`12 weeks after the immediately preceding dose.
`
`6.
`
`The method of claim 1, wherein the angiogenic eye disorder is selected from the
`
`group consisting of: age related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular
`
`edema, central retinal vein occlusion, branch retinal vein occlusion, and corneal neovascularization.
`
`7.
`
`The method of claim 6, wherein the angiogenic eye disorderis age related macular
`
`degeneration.
`
`8.
`
`The method of claim 1, wherein the VEGF antagonist is an anti-VEGF antibody or
`
`fragmentthereof, an anti-VEGF receptor antibody or fragment thereof, or a VEGF receptor-based
`
`chimeric molecule.

`
`to the patient by intraocular administration.

`
`administration.

`
`administration.
`
`18.
`
`The method of claim 17, wherein all doses of the VEGF antagonist comprise from
`
`about 0.5 mg to about 2 mg of the VEGF antagonist.
`
`19.
`
`The method of claim 18, wherein all doses of the VEGF antagonist comprise 0.5 mg
`
`of the VEGF antagonist.
`
`20.
`
`The method of claim 18, wherein all doses of the VEGF antagonist comprise 2 mg of
`
`the VEGF antagonist.
