Conjunctival wound healing determines success after filtration surgery and the quest for better antifibrotic agents remains active. This study compares intracameral bevacizumab to sub-Tenon's mitomycin C (MMC) in trabeculectomy. Primary open-angle or exfoliative glaucoma patients were randomized to either bevacizumab ( n = 50 eyes) or MMC ( n = 50 eyes). The primary outcome measure was complete success, defined as Intraocular Pressure (IOP) &gt; 5 mmHg and ≤21 mmHg with a minimum 20% reduction from baseline without medications. Average IOP and glaucoma medications decreased significantly in both groups at all follow-up points compared to baseline ( p &lt; 0.001), without significant difference between groups at 3 years (IOP: bevacizumab group from 29 ± 9.4 to 15 ± 3.4 mmHg, MMC group from 28.3 ± 8.7 to 15.4 ± 3.8 mmHg, p = 0.60; Medications: bevacizumab group from 3.5 ± 0.9 to 0.5 ± 1, MMC group from 3.6 ± 0.7 to 0.6 ± 1.1, p = 0.70). Complete success, although similar between groups at 3 years (66% vs. 64%), was significantly higher for bevacizumab at months 6 and 12 (96% vs. 82%, p = 0.03; 88% vs. 72%, p = 0.04, respectively) with fewer patients requiring medications at months 6, 9 and 12 (4% vs. 18%, p = 0.03; 6% vs. 20%, p = 0.04; 8% vs. 24%, p = 0.03, respectively). Complication rates were similar between groups. In conclusion, intracameral bevacizumab appears to provide similar long-term efficacy and safety results as sub-Tenon's MMC after trabeculectomy.
