EyeBio is developing a pipeline of clinical and preclinical candidates for the prevention and treatment of vision loss associated with retinal vascular leakage.

This marks 21 years in a row the hospital has been top-ranked by the US News & World Report in the field of ophthalmology.

Researchers from the UKB Eye Clinic, in cooperation with the University of Bonn and in close collaboration with basic and clinical scientists, have examined patients with early forms of AMD. The researchers focused on the so-called iRORA lesions, which are very early anatomical signs of retinal damage.

Researchers, led by Shigemi Matsuyama, PhD, will conduct research seeking a potential breakthrough drug that can be taken orally—one that may address many RP disease manifestations, regardless of the underlying genetic mutation.

AAV204 is a novel adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsid from the AIM capsid library licensed by Abeona from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

The companies are teaming up to reduce care gaps and improve eye and vision health by bringing diabetic retinopathy and other eye disease screening services to patients in their own homes and workplaces.

The organization has secured £72.75 million for its new eye health center.

Companies continue to share news about the data that will be presented at the 2024 ASRS meeting in Stockholm, Sweden.

A novel formulation may prevent blood vessel growth and vascular leakage in the retina.

Ophthalmologist receives the Roger Steinert, MD, Legacy Award during the Octane Ophthalmology Tech Forum in Irvine, California.

A team of researchers at the Ohio State University found that in mice an enzyme related to cell growth and division is a culprit in the blood vessel invasion in the back of the eye that causes blurred central vision in wet AMD.

The company announced it has received FDA approval to relaunch Susvimo for intravitreal use via an ocular implant for treating people with wet AMD.

Prescriptions with semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic, Novo Nordisk) are FDA approved to treat obesity and type 2 diabetes, respectively.

The funding will go toward the continued clinical development of the company’s lead asset, AGTC-501 (laruparetigene zovaparvovec)

The pharmaceutical candidate is being evaluated as a potential treat for nAMD.

According to Genentech, faricimab-svoa is the first and only syringe prefilled with an FDA-approved bispecific antibody for the treatment of wet AMD, DME and RVO.

The deal included a total upfront consideration of $81 million, including a cash payment of approximately $65 million.

Apellis plans to seek re-examination, with a final opinion expected in fourth quarter of 2024.

Faricimab is already approved in the EU and UK for neovascular age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema.

The company expects approval from the EMA by 2025.

Repeated 0.1-ml intravireal injections of lampalizumab, antigen-binding fragment of a humanized monoclonal antibody that inhibits complement factor D, seem to be associated with a low risk of elevated IOP

The biosimilar was approved for treating patients with age-related neovascular (wet) macular degeneration (nAMD) and other serious retinal diseases.

During interview earlier this year, we asked leaders in the retina field would tell residents and medical students as they train for the next decades in retinal care. Here's what 2 of them had to say.

From AI tools and early diagnoses to advancing image rendering and predicting overall health, retinal imaging is reaching new heights.

The ASRS annual meeting will take place in Stockholm, Sweden on July 16-20, 2024. Several major updates are already anticipated at the event.

Fewer faricimab injections needed

4D-175 will be evaluated in the GAZE clinical trial, an upcoming phase 1, open-label trial.

The award, supported by Oculis, will recognize outstanding contributions to retina research and will grant €30,000 for research support, and an additional €5,000 directly to the candidate.
