Phase 2a results demonstrated the efficacy and safety of orally administered CU06-1004 and may warrant further clinical studies in DME.

SGLT2 inhibitors may provide a favorable impact on the risk of sight-threatening diabetic retinal complications compared with other glucose-lowering therapies.

We break down 5 top trials to keep an eye on at ASRS 2024, taking place in Stockholm, Sweden from July 17 to 20, 2024.

Results from FARETINA-DME indicate a majority of eyes with DME began extending treatment intervals after 1-2 initial doses of faricimab.

Last week's FDA approval of avacincaptad pegol marked the second approved treatment for geographic atrophy in 2023. Here, 4 retina specialists discuss the complement inhibitor and what it could represent for patients with GA.

Data from PK profiles and safety analyses of intravitreal sozinibercept suggest the promise of the drug in combination with standard anti-VEGF agents for AMD and DME.

Presented at ASRS 2023, results from the phase 2 ZETA-1 trial showed oral APX3330 missed its primary endpoint, but the consideration of a binocular treatment effect may warrant further clinical development.

Presented at ASRS 2023, results from a posthoc analysis of YOSEMITE/RHINE suggest a potential anti-fibrotic effect of faricimab versus aflibercept in eyes with DME.

Presented at ASRS 2023, results from FARETINA-AMD suggest positive early treatment patterns and outcomes in patients with nAMD initiating faricimab treatment.

Presented at ASRS 2023, study data showed a single, in-office injection of RGX-314 gene therapy may have long-lasting improvements in diabetic retinopathy severity.

Presented at ASRS 2023, additional results from the Pagoda and Pavilion trials suggest a potential benefit of PDS for patients with DME and diabetic retinopathy.

Presented at ASRS 2023, results from the GALE extension study showed crossover to pegcetacoplan treatment from sham stabilized photoreceptor degeneration over 6 months.

A post hoc analysis of YOSEMITE/RHINE presented at ASRS 2023 suggests faricimab is linked to the faster absence of retinal fluid and fewer injections versus aflibercept in eyes with DME.

Presented at ASRS 2023, an analysis of the Portal trial suggests the efficacy and safety of PDS with ranibizumab was maintained over 5 years in patients with nAMD.

Presented at ASRS 2023, results suggest the potential proof-of-concept for the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of UBX1325 in patients with DME.

Dr. Hahn discusses an anchored matching-adjusted indirect comparison in patients with geographic atrophy, suggesting a greater reduction in observed lesion growth with monthly pegcetacoplan versus avacincaptad pegol.

Late-breaking findings at ASRS 2023 suggest daily home OCT imaging is sufficient for remotely monitoring fluid among patients with treatment-naïve nAMD.

Presented at ASRS 2023, the results showed clinically meaningful reductions in anti-VEGF treatment burden at all dose levels of intravitreal 4D-150 in patients with a high anti-VEGF need.

At ASRS 2023, results from the MOSAIC study indicate the substantial burden of geographic atrophy on patients and their caregivers across the United States and Canada.

Presented at ASRS 2023, study data suggest aflibercept 8 mg provided greater therapeutic benefit, an extended injection interval, and equivalent safety versus aflibercept 2 mg in eyes with nAMD.

This episode of DocTalk features 5 expert retina specialists discussing the top line data from the conference.

Over 60% of patients in the second year of TENAYA and LUCERNE were on 16 week dosing in the faricimab group.

Machine learning algorithms successfully predicted visual and anatomic outcomes and dosing frequency in patients with macular edema secondary to CRVO.

Data show 77% of eyes with DME in the IRIS Registry received only one type of anti-VEGF agent over an average follow-up of 2.3 years.

The port delivery system provides good visual outcomes for patients with nAMD despite presence of fluid in post-hoc analysis of Archway trial.

A post-hoc analysis of the GATHER1 trial suggests avacincaptad pegol reduced GA lesion growth across all distances from the foveal center point, when compared to sham.

Longer time to intravitreal aflibercept injection (>3 months) showed less visual improvement versus shorter time (<1 month).

Dr. Singh discusses the promise of durability with the agent and the potential for reducing the amount of patient visits, while preserving visual outcomes.

More than 60% of faricimab patients could be treated every 4 months at 2-year mark of TENAYA and LUCERNE studies.

Overall 70% of the patients in both PDS with ranibizumab and ranibizumab alone had almost no retinal thickness fluctuations.
