At the recent gathering for the Angiogenesis, Exudation, and Degeneration 2024 Conference, Arshad M. Khanani, M.D., M.A., FASRS, showcased pivotal findings at the 24-week juncture from the Phase 2 Dose Expansion group within the PRISM clinical study.
David Kirn, M.D., co-creator and CEO of 4DMT, expressed excitement over the preliminary positive data, suggesting the promising capabilities of 4D-150 as an effective, user-friendly, long-lasting, and revolutionary intravitreal solution for those suffering from wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), aiming to maintain visual function over an extended period.
"One of the exciting aspects we are observing is the potential of 4D-150 to revolutionize the current approach to treating these patients, and these findings further emphasize the strength and contribution of our proprietary intravitreal R100 vector developed by 4DMT. I extend my gratitude to all the patients and investigators involved in the PRISM study who have contributed to reaching this significant achievement," Kirn further stated.
Dr. Robert Kim, the Chief Medical Officer, remarked on the encouraging Phase 2 interim outcomes, emphasizing that they reveal a unique treatment profile for wet AMD, particularly for patient groups that have been historically underserved in previous research efforts.
Dr. Kim also mentioned, "Moving forward, we are eager to engage with regulatory bodies to finalize a Phase 3 trial strategy accelerated by the FDA’s RMAT and the EMA’s PRIME designations. Our goal is to expedite the progress of 4D-150 and offer a potent new therapeutic alternative for the millions affected by ocular diseases associated with VEGF, which often lead to vision loss."
