Why TKIs?

Despite current therapies, wet AMD and DME patients tend to lose vision in the long term

The real-world effectiveness of currently approved therapies can be limited by:

  • High treatment burden and poor patient compliance due to injection fatigue
  • The need for frequent and consistent anti-VEGF injections
  • The complexity of wet AMD and DME as multi-factorial diseases

Sustained-release delivery of small molecule TKIs is designed to provide durable, continuous control of disease activity to potentially maintain vision over the long-term.

Many Patients Still Lose Vision Despite Available Therapies

AMD, age-related macular degeneration; BCVA, best corrected visual acuity; DME, diabetic macular edema; ETDRS, Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study; TKI, tyrosine kinase inhibitor; VA, visual acuity; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor.

EYP-1901 is an investigational product and the safety and efficacy of EYP-1901 has not been established. FDA has not approved EYP-1901 in the United States. The materials discussed on this site do not predict future FDA approval. Conclusive evidence of efficacy and safety of EYP-1901 will require further investigation in well-controlled Phase 3 clinical trials.
