The multi-institutional found that a genetic variation common in people of African ancestry is linked with an increased risk of complications from diabetes, including diabetic retinopathy, which has previously been linked to genetic variations called single nucleotide polymorphisms, or SNPs, but these associations have been studied primarily in individuals of European and Asian ancestry.

The results were presented at a symposium during the American Diabetes Association's 84th Scientific Sessions in Orlando, Florida, and mark the first large-scale trial specifically designed to investigate the effect of fenofibrate on eye outcomes in people with early diabetic retinopathy.

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis for years have worked to understand the rare condition known as retinal vasculopathy with cerebral leukoencephalopathy and systemic manifestations.

OCU410ST is a modifier gene therapy candidate being developed for Stargardt disease, which affects approximately 100,000 people in the United States and Europe combined.

The second and third required PPQ batches are scheduled, and should they meet specifications, the new TRIESENCE production process will be complete, allowing Harrow to relaunch during 2024.

The role of calendars may be growing more important when managing patients with nAMD and DME. How many weeks can patients go between injections with newer anti-VEGF agents versus older options? How short of an injection interval can patients tolerate before it becomes too much of a burden? In this podcast, Murtaza Adam, MD; Laxmi Devisetty, MD, Hong-Uyen Hua, MD; and Sherrol Reynolds, OD; share insights into determining appropriate treatment regimens with these therapies and supporting patient adherence.

A priority review has been granted with a PDUFA goal date set for December 17, 2024.
