This year’s hybrid meeting will allow attendees to participate in person or virtually. Either way, this congress will offer a wealth of information to specialists covering all aspects of retinal diseases.

According to a news release, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Coherus’ ranibizumab-eqrn (Cimerli) as an interchangeable biosimilar for all five indications of Lucentis.

Nancy Lurker, CEO of EyePoint Pharmaceuticals, shares the 12-month safety data from the DAVIO trial, investigating EYP-1901 for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy.

Dr Jayanth Sridhar shares a day in the life of an academic retina specialist.

Although off-label repackaged bevacizumab syringes appear to satisfy an urgent clinical and financial need for patients with a variety of retinal disorders, they are known to be associated with considerable public health concerns due to the risks posed to patients from compounding pharmacies’ lack of compliance with a variety of FDA requirements.

Kodiak Sciences Inc. announced that its BEACON Phase 3 study of tarcocimab, its novel antibody biopolymer conjugate, met the primary endpoint of non-inferior change from baseline in visual acuity at week 24 compared to aflibercept in patients with macular edema due to retinal vein occlusion.

The brain structures with most changes coincide with those which are altered most in Alzheimer’s, according to a study by researchers at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid in Spain.

Carl D. Regillo, MD, and Jennifer I. Lim, MD, review the regulatory oversight process regarding biosimilars after they have entered the market.

Carl D. Regillo, MD, and Jennifer I. Lim, MD, provide an overview of the development and clinical evaluation of biosimilar agents.

Recent reports of retinal atrophy have raised concerns on potential long-term safety.

Retina indications for which ranibizumab-eqrn is interchangeable include neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration; macular edema following retinal vein occlusion; diabetic macular edema; diabetic retinopathy, and myopic choroidal neovascularization.

The discovery of molecular signatures of age-related macular degeneration will help with better diagnosis and treatment of this progressive eye disease.

The doctors will join the Cataract and Primary Eye Care, Glaucoma, and Retina Services.

The findings of this study may have revealed the crucial role of gene fragments in retinal development and vision.

A novel computational platform identifies top-performing viral vectors that could deliver gene therapies to the retina with maximum efficiency and precision.

Positive results from recent pre-clinical studies support the potential of long-acting PASylated nomacopan to advance toward IND/IMPD for clinical trials in geographic atrophy (GA) in dry age-related macular degeneration (dAMD), a disease with no approved treatments.

Nadia K. Waheed, MD, MPH, and David M. Brown, MD, discuss the future of intravitreal injections.
