Chair for Research Rush University Medical Center Chicago, IL Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) Macular pucker & Macular hole Diabetic macular edema (DME) Vitreo-macular traction syndrome (VMT) Exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD)? Vitrectomy is the current treatment vitreoretinal interface pathology Vitreomacular traction syndrome Macular hole Pharmacologic vitreolysis using microplasmin has demonstrated potential to induce PVD Rapid diffusion of drugs It s mostly water Has relatively few molecular components It s relatively acellular ILM Stain for Fibronectin Vitreous adhesion to ILM is mediated by: Fibronectin Laminin Chondroitin Glycoconjugates G. A. Williams, MD 1

2 G. Williams M. Trese Hydrolyzing laminin and fibronectin which bridge collagen fibers between the posterior vitreous cortex and the ILM Trese and Williams developed autologous plasmin method Induces PVD, especially in young patients, dose and duration dependent Cumbersome preparation using patients serum Kringle 4 (Fibrin binding site) Kringle 3 Kringle 2 Kringle 1 (Fibrin binding site) Kringle 5 Serine Protease (active part) 88 kda Size 29 kda Size Protein Ribbon Structure Generic name for microplasmin Lacks inactive kringle domains Direct-acting thrombolytic (unlike plasminogen activator) Smaller molecule, allows better retinal penetration Recombinant technology Induces PVD with single 75μg or 125μg injection ThromboGenics Leuven, Belgium ~ Dublin, Ireland ~ New York NY Injection The MIVI Trials MIcroplasmin for VItreous Injection 2
