- ixoberogene soroparvovec (Ixo-vec)
- Announced Date:
- July 17, 2024
- Indication:
- For the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD)
Announcement
Adverum Biotechnologies, Inc y announced results from the landmark 26-week interim analysis of the ongoing LUNA Phase 2 trial of Ixo-vec in patients with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
AI Summary
Adverum Biotechnologies, Inc. announced positive findings from the landmark 26‐week interim analysis of its ongoing LUNA Phase 2 trial of Ixo‑vec in patients with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The study used the 6E10 dose combined with local prophylaxis, showing a promising product profile. Notably, 76% of patients receiving the 6E10 dose were free from additional injections while maintaining stable visual acuity and controlling retinal fluid. In terms of safety, 100% of patients on the difluprednate-alone regimen experienced no or minimal inflammation, and no extra corticosteroids were needed beyond the scheduled prophylaxis. Additionally, a patient survey revealed strong favorability, with 88% preferring Ixo‑vec over previous treatments and 93% willing to use it in the other eye. These positive interim results have informed the selection of 6E10 for upcoming Phase 3 studies.

Announcement
Adverum Biotechnologies, Inc announced that LUNA 9-month landmark analysis and pivotal trial design update anticipated in 4Q 2024
AI Summary
Adverum Biotechnologies, Inc. recently announced an important update regarding its LUNA Phase 2 study. The company revealed that they anticipate presenting the 9-month landmark analysis and a pivotal Phase 3 trial design update in the fourth quarter of 2024. This update follows promising interim results from the 26-week analysis in patients with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), where the product showed a potential best-in-class profile with a favorable safety outcome and reduced treatment burden.
The clinical data suggest that patients receiving the lower 6E10 dose could manage inflammation effectively with local prophylactic treatment, while many remained free of injections at 26 weeks. This development highlights Adverum's commitment to shifting the treatment paradigm for wet AMD, aiming to offer a more durable therapy option that could reduce the need for frequent anti-VEGF injections.

- For the Treatment of Wet AMD
Announcement
Adverum Biotechnologies, Inc. announced the initiation of the ARTEMIS Phase 3 study.
AI Summary
Adverum Biotechnologies, Inc. has started the ARTEMIS Phase 3 study, a pivotal trial that could lead to a new gene therapy for wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This study is the first to test a one-time intravitreal (IVT) injection of Ixo-vec, aiming to provide a long-term treatment option compared to the current standard of care. The trial will compare a single Ixo-vec injection to the approved treatment with aflibercept, given every eight weeks, in about 284 patients, including those who are treatment-naïve and those who have been previously treated.
The study is designed to assess if Ixo-vec is no worse than aflibercept in improving vision over one year. Before receiving Ixo-vec or continuing with aflibercept, all patients will get three loading doses of aflibercept. This trial represents a significant step toward reducing treatment burden and could transform vision care for wet AMD patients.
