The latest results from Genentech’s proposed eye disease treatments are demonstrating strong potential to help reduce treatment frequencies and deliver improved outcomes.
FDA Approves Genentech’s Vabysmo, the First Bispecific Antibody for the Eye, to Treat Two Leading Causes of Vision Loss
Approvals, Bispecific Antibody, Blood Vessels, Diabetic Macular Edema, FDA/Regulatory, Genentech, Ophthalmics, Roche, Therapeutics, Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-A (VEGF-A) Protein, Vision Loss, Wet Age-Related Macular DegenerationThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Genentech’s Vabysmo (faricimab-svoa) for the treatment of wet, or neovascular, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME).
Swiss drugmaker Roche’s experimental eye medicine faricimab matched Bayer and Regeneron’s Eylea against diabetic macular degeneration in acuity gains in two studies, including one in which patients had less-frequent shots.
Novartis’ Beovu matched Regeneron’s Eylea in vision clarity scores for a blindness-causing eye disease, the Swiss drugmaker said, after early safety stumbles for the medicine in another condition caused disappointing early sales.
KalVista Pharmaceuticals indicated that Merck had allowed the option deal between the companies for the intravitreal diabetic macular edema (IDME) drug KVD001 and future DME molecules to expire.
FDA Approves Eylea for Diabetic Retinopathy
Approvals, Diabetic Macular Edema, Diabetic Retinopathy, Diabetics, FDA, FDA/Regulatory, New Indications, Supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA), Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) Inhibitors, Vision Loss, Wet Age-Related Macular DegenerationThe U.S. FDA approved Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc.’s Eylea (aflibercept) Injection for all stages of diabetic retinopathy, which is the leading cause of vision loss in diabetic patients.

A new study shows first-time proof that AI can detect the severity of diabetic macular edema, which is a leading cause of blindness.
The U.S. FDA declined to approve a pre-filled syringe version of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc.’s blockbuster eye drug Eylea.
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals announced positive top-line data from the Phase III PANORAMA study of Eylea (aflibercept) injection in moderately severe to severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
