Mathew MacCumber, MD, PhD, FASRS, spoke with Modern Retina about his presentation at the recent Retina Society meeting in New York City titled, "0.19 mg Fluocinolone Acetonide (FAc) Implant Improves Vision and Treatment Burden in Patients with Diabetic Macular Edema: The PALADIN Study."

According to the company, AVD-104 is an engineered glycan (sialic acid) nanoparticle designed to target the self-pattern recognition receptors on overly activated retinal immune cells, specifically macrophages and microglia.

Nathan Steinle, MD, spoke with Modern Retina's editor to give insights into his Retina Society presentation titled, "Phase 3 studies of dual inhibition of VEGF C/D and VEGF A using OPT-302 in combination With ranibizumab (ShORe Trial) or aflibercept (COAST Trial) in neovascular AMD."

At the 56th annual Retina Society congress in New York, David Boyer, MD, gave a presentation titled, "Subgroup analyses of phase 1 DAVIO Trial of EYP-1901 demonstrating reduced treatment burden in wet age-related macular degeneration."

Sophie Bakri, MD, MBA, shared insights from her presentation, "Comparison of the Antiangiogenic Profile of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors Vorolanib, Axitinib, and Sunitinib."

The investigators performed clinical examinations and obtained fundus photographs and inferior optical coherence tomography (OCT) images for both treatments at baseline and on days 1, 3, 8, 15, and 56 after the injections.

A modified endolaser setup was found to be safe and efficient for use during chandelier scleral buckling.

Michael Engelbert, MD, PhD, discusses how personalized faricimab dosing shows promise in extending dosing intervals for patients with wet age-related macular degeneration, which can enhance long-term treatment outcomes and patient adherence.

The meeting, being held from October 11-14 in New York City, will feature 4 presentations from ophthalmologists of the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai.

Visual acuity changes and conversion to neovascular AMD determined over 3 years in large patient cohort.

New data, insights on clinical trials, and perspective from researchers will be among the information shared at the 56th annual Retina Society congress being held in New York.
