Dr Arshad M. Khanani reviews the Phase 2 part A results of the KALAHARI study of THR-149 for the treatment of DMO.

KALAHARI study finds THR-149 to be safe, well-tolerated with preliminary efficacy as treatment for DMO patients who respond suboptimally to anti-VEGF.

Most patients (95%) with the PDS implanted did not need supplemental treatment before the refills, indicating the persistence and durability of the treatment.

Faricimab is the first bispecific antibody designed for intraocular use that blocks 2 pathways, the angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) and the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) A pathways.

Most patients who had received monthly injections, that is, 92%, preferred the PDS after switching, with 88% having a very strong preference.

After 2 years, the improvements in vision and anatomy were sustained with extended dosing out to every 16 weeks in a high percentage of patients.

Boyer, MD, explained that the drug, which is being considered to treat diabetic retinopathy, renal disease, and age-related macular degeneration, is intended to be an alternative therapy to monthly chronically administered intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF drugs.

In a presentation at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute’s 19th annual Angiogenesis, Exudation and Degeneration 2022 Virtual Edition, Dr Glenn J. Jaffe noted that the analysis showed, for the first time, a decreased growth rate in the central foveal area by a therapeutic intervention when compared with sham treatment.
