Announcement
EyePoint Pharmaceuticals, Inc Phase 3 non-inferiority pivotal program initiation anticipated by the end of 2025
AI Summary
EyePoint Pharmaceuticals has reported encouraging Phase 2 results for its investigational therapy DURAVYU, a sustained delivery treatment for diabetic macular edema. In the trial, both investigated doses met the primary endpoint by extending the time to a needed supplemental injection compared to the current treatment. In particular, the 2.7mg dose showed early and sustained improvements in vision and retinal anatomy while also reducing the overall treatment burden. The positive outcomes were paired with a favorable safety profile, with no serious ocular or systemic adverse events related to DURAVYU. Building on these promising findings, the company anticipates launching a Phase 3 non-inferiority pivotal clinical program by the end of 2025, aiming to further validate DURAVYU’s potential as a best-in-class treatment option for serious retinal diseases.

Announcement
EyePoint Pharmaceuticals, Inc announced positive six-month results for the ongoing Phase 2 VERONA clinical trial evaluating DURAVYU™ (vorolanib intravitreal insert), an investigational sustained delivery therapy delivering patent-protected vorolanib, a selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) formulated in proprietary bioerodible Durasert E™.
AI Summary
EyePoint Pharmaceuticals announced positive six-month results from the ongoing Phase 2 VERONA trial evaluating DURAVYU™, an investigational sustained delivery therapy that uses patent-protected vorolanib delivered via its proprietary bioerodible Durasert E™ system. Both tested doses, 1.34 mg and 2.7 mg, achieved the primary endpoint by extending the time to the first supplemental injection compared to an aflibercept control. The 2.7 mg dose, in particular, showed an early and sustained improvement in visual acuity with a 7.1-letter gain in BCVA at 24 weeks, along with a 76-micron reduction in central subfield thickness. The study also reported a significant decrease in treatment burden and maintained a favorable safety profile with no observed DURAVYU-related ocular or systemic serious adverse events. These promising outcomes support plans to initiate a Phase 3 non-inferiority pivotal program later in 2025.
