In the trial, 53% of eyes did not need additional anti-VEGF injections up to six months after receiving one dose of EYP-1901.
No events of endophthalmitis, retinal vasculitis, vitreous floaters, retinal detachment, implant migration in the anterior chamber, posterior segment inflammation or retinal vascular occlusive events were reported.
A continued positive 74% decline in treatment burden was seen at 12 months compared to 79% at six months.
A Phase II DAVIO2 trial for wet AMD is anticipated in the third quarter of this year while Phase II trials are expected for non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular oedema in the second half of this year and next year, respectively.
EyePoint Scientific Advisory Board member Rishi Singh said: “The final 12-month results from the DAVIO clinical trial highlight EYP-1901’s continued positive safety and efficacy profile with promising durability as a potential every six-month maintenance therapy for previously treated wet AMD.
“We are grateful to the patients, investigators and site staff who participated in the Phase I DAVIO trial.”
