Should We Stop Treating Patients With Eplerenone for Chronic CSCR? Commentary on the VICI Trial.
The VICI trial reported by Lotery et al. is a recent placebo-controlled, randomized trial that examined the efficacy of eplerenone treatment for chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) in 104 patients. The study found no significant difference in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) between the eplerenone-treated and placebo groups, prompting the VICI investigators to conclude that eplerenone should not be prescribed to treat CSCR. Limitations of the study include the patients' high baseline BCVA, use of a functional outcome like BCVA as the primary endpoint instead of an anatomical outcome, failure to account for rebound effect, and measuring subretinal fluid (SRF) thickness instead of the more informative SRF volume. Based on these reasons and evidence from multiple case series and prospective studies over the past 7 years, it is the opinion of the authors of this editorial that the VICI investigators' conclusion to stop prescribing eplerenone for CSCR is too severe. Future clinical trials should continue to explore the potential for eplerenone as long-term maintenance treatment in chronic CSCR. [ Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina . 2021;52:308-310.] .
