Role of EYP-1901 in neovascular age-related macular degeneration and diabetic eye diseases: review of Phase I/II trials.

ABSTRACT

EYP-1901 (Duravyu) has demonstrated promising outcomes in Phases I and II clinical trials for the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME)/diabetic retinopathy. This innovative treatment capitalizes on the potent anti-angiogenic properties of vorolanib, an inhibitor that targets all isoforms of VEGF, effectively mitigating the pathological neovascularization and vascular permeability that underpin these retinal conditions. EYP-1901 is integrated with the Durasert drug delivery system to administer a sustained release of vorolanib directly to the posterior segment of the eye. This delivery system ensures a consistent therapeutic effect over an extended period and significantly reduces the frequency of clinical interventions required, offering a more convenient treatment regimen while maintaining patient safety.

Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) are eye problems that can make you lose your sight. These eye problems happen when blood vessels in the eye do not work right. Right now, people need lots of shots in their eyes to treat it. EYP-1901 (Duravyu) is a new medicine that helps people with fewer shots in their eyes. It has two parts one that helps the medicine last longer, and another that helps stop the problem in the eye. Early tests show it works well and helps people keep their sight with fewer treatments.
