Shots:
- The US FDA has granted approval to Vabysmo (faricimab) 6mg single-dose prefilled syringe (PFS) for treating neovascular or ‘wet’ age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), diabetic macular edema (DME) and macular edema following retinal vein occlusion (RVO). US availability is anticipated in the upcoming months
- Vabysmo’s approval was based on studies showing improved visions and retinal drying in nAMD, DME and RVO. Other worldwide health authority reviews are underway
- Vabysmo, the first bispecific antibody for the eye, targets and inhibits Ang-2 and VEGF-A, pathways linked to vision loss due to destabilization of blood vessels that results in leaky vessels & increased inflammation
