This episode of the Doc2Doc podcast features Dr. Christopher Riemann of the Cincinnati Eye Institute. Dr. Riemann shares insights into the FIXER Trial, a Phase III study evaluating the use of methotrexate to prevent proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) in retinal detachment surgery.
Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of:
☑️The clinical burden of PVR and its impact on patient outcomes
☑️Methotrexate’s mechanism of action and historical use in ophthalmology
☑️The FIXER Trial’s innovative design and promising interim results
