Home-stored anti-VEGF drugs face risks from temperature changes, pointing to a need to protect efficacy and avoid dangerous contamination.

Panelists discuss how the aflibercept 8 mg higher molecular concentration enables extended durability through increased VEGF binding capacity and longer intraocular drug levels, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing while maintaining efficacy.

The company's lead product candidate Duravyu (vorolanib intravitreal insert), f/k/a EYP-1901, is anticipating topline data from several clinical trials in 2026.

The trial evaluated ONS-5010 in wet age-related macular degeneration patients, and the company plans to resubmit a Biologics License Application in the first quarter of 2025.

InflammX’s pipeline includes an orally dosed therapeutic candidate targeting intermediate age-related macular degeneration.

The new funding will allow the company to complete its ongoing Phase 2 trial of proprietary nanomedicine, migaldendranib, in patients with wet AMD and DME

Previously, Teva was established as the European commercialisation partner of FYB201, Formycon's biosimilar to ranibizumab (Lucentis).

The company will prioritize its cash in funding its ongoing Phase 1/2 PRISM clinical trial and Phase 3 4FRONT program.

Panelists discuss how aflibercept 8 mg demonstrates improved durability and maintenance of visual gains compared with 2-mg dosing, potentially reducing treatment burden while maintaining a similar safety profile.

The collaboration between KIST and Huons BioPharma will span 14 months.

Panelists discuss how treat-and-extend dosing with aflibercept 2 mg allows for individualized treatment intervals while maintaining vision gains. However, optimal extension timing must be carefully determined based on disease activity markers.

In this study, researchers examine immune mechanisms in ocular diseases like uveitis, AMD, DR, and GO, highlighting microglial roles, targeted therapies, and promising advances in immunotherapy.

The conference will be held January 13-16, 2025 in San Francisco, CA.

A look at the biggest news and advancements in ophthalmology in 2024.

The report details the results of preclinical discovery, engineering and characterization studies evaluating the safety, retinal cell transduction, transgene expression and clinical activity of proprietary evolved intravitreal vector R100 and 4D-150.

The publication is entitled, “Design and Characterization of a Novel Intravitreal Dual-Transgene Genetic Medicine for Neovascular Retinopathies.”

Panelists discuss how aflibercept’s molecular structure contributes to its clinical efficacy as a standard treatment for retinal vascular diseases.

Panelists discuss how anti-VEGF therapies have dramatically improved visual outcomes in patients with age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema over the past decade. Key challenges persist, including treatment burden, adherence, and identifying optimal dosing regimens for individual patients.

Espansione Group is known for photobiomodulation (PBM) technology – the Light Modulation Low-level Light Therapy (LLLT) along with the Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology.

The EMA issued a positive opinion and recommendation for marketing authorization for Eydenzelt (biosimilar aflibercept).

Phenocell and Amarna Therapeutics were awarded the grant by Eureka’s Eurostars initiative, co-funded by the European Union.
