FDA approves Susvimo implant for treating diabetic macular edema, offering six-month refills.

The FDA has approved Susvimo, an implant containing ranibizumab, for treating diabetic macular edema (DME), a condition that affects over 29 million adults and can cause vision loss. This is the first continuous-delivery therapy for DME, reducing the need for frequent injections. The implant, which can be refilled every six months, was found to be as effective as monthly injections in clinical trials and was preferred by 80% of patients.
