Apellis has received FDA approval for intravitreal pegcetacoplan (SYFOVRE) to treat geographic atrophy secondary to AMD. This news follows the submission of the 24-month phase 3 data in November 2022.

The survey addressed topics that would facilitate a better understanding of the awareness of retina specialists regarding this relative new form of treatment in ophthalmology.

The company noted that all OTX-TKI treated subjects who were rescue-free at the Month 7 interim analysis remained rescue-free, extending the 73% rescue-free rate up to Month 10.
