Wet AMD

During a presentation at the EURETINA 2021 Virtual Congress, Prof. Ben Burton detailed how dry AMD patients treated with photobiomodulation therapy have seen improvements in best-corrected visual acuity 9 months after treatment.

Findings from the Archway trial showed that the PDS effect is long-lasting, consistent, and comparable to those seen with monthly injections.

Outlook Therapeutics completes Phase 3 NORSE TWO safety and efficacy trial for ONS-5010, an investigational ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab for treatment of wet AMD.

If approved, Genentech’s treatment of faricimab will be the first and only medicine targeting two distinct pathways, Ang-2 and VEGF-A, that often cause retinal diseases that may cause vision loss.

Investigators have found that 78% of neovascular AMD cases have been detected using the PHP home monitoring system.

If approved, PDS ranibizumab would become the first and only eye implant with continuous drug delivery, offering an alternative to more frequent anti-VEGF injections for people with wet AMD.

Investigators corroborate the hypothesis that retinal ganglion cells with dendrites stratified in the off sublaminae could be damaged.

Amid pandemic, physicians and patients have embraced remote technology.

An updated PDS procedure reduces complications.

The not-for-profit vision and healthcare organization breaks ground on premier Technology Center for assistive technology for people with vision loss.

The company is hoping to commercialize the first FDA-approved ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab-vikg for retinal disease. It expects to receive BLA approval from the FDA by mid-2022.

EYS809, a non-viral gene therapy sustained drug-delivery product that delivers anti-vascular endothelial growth factor to the eye, may replace the need for repeated intravitreal anti-VEGF injections and improve vision in patients diagnosed with wet age-related macular degeneration.

This novel intravitreal gene therapy may also hold potential for the treatment of diabetic macular edema.

Injections and implants continue to create further positive outcomes for patients.
