“In preclinical studies completed to date, we have demonstrated up to 6 months of sustained release of anti-VEGF drugs using our hydrogel-based drug delivery technology with a good safety profile,” stated Dr. Jon Talamo, Chief Medical Officer of Ocular Therapeutix. “A 4-6-month sustained release formulation has the potential to advance the current standard of care in wet AMD and other retinal diseases by significantly reducing injection frequency. We have also demonstrated minimal inflammatory response in vivo through 26 weeks with both our anti-VEGF protein and TKI depots currently in development. This technology represents an exciting development in the field of ophthalmology and we look forward to further advancing these programs.”
