EyePoint announces Phase 2 VERONA trial met primary endpoint

EyePoint (EYPT) Pharmaceuticals announced positive six-month results for the ongoing Phase 2 VERONA clinical trial evaluating DURAVYU, an investigational sustained delivery therapy delivering patent-protected vorolanib, a selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor formulated in proprietary bioerodible Durasert E. The clinical trial met its primary endpoint with extended time to first supplemental injection compared to aflibercept control for both DURAVYU doses. The trial also demonstrated clinically meaningful outcomes including continued safety with no DURAVYU-related ocular or systemic serious adverse events and an early and sustained improvement in vision and anatomical control. DURAVYU 2.7mg demonstrated a +7.1 letter BCVA gain and 76-micron CST reduction at week 24, with a supplement-free rate of 73% versus 50% for eyes treated with aflibercept. These positive Phase 2 VERONA results add to a robust dataset across another key indication demonstrating the best-in-class potential for DURAVYU in serious retinal diseases. Primary endpoint achieved by both DURAVYU doses with extended time to first supplemental injection versus aflibercept control.
