Effectiveness
Subjective evidence of visual function improvement was demonstrated in Best-Corrected Visual Acuity, MNRead Acuity, Critical Print Size, and Reading Speed, as well as Patient Reported Outcomes associated with Mobility and Independence and Reading and Accessing Information. Objective evidence of visual function preservation and increased choroidal perfusion were demonstrated in growth inhibition of geographic atrophy and postoperative increase in sub-foveal choroidal thickness, respectively.
"The completion of this trial is the culmination of a decade of focused scientific research into perfusion of the retina and how it affects macular function. We are very excited with the trial results and how these data support the OcuDyne hypothesis. Our next focus will be the development of additional data to support a pathway for regulatory approval," Jeff Franco, CEO.
About Chronic Ischemic AMD and OcuDyne
The potential influence of a chronic ischemic environment secondary to atherosclerotic vascular disease in the ophthalmic artery, on the development of geographic atrophy in age-related macular degeneration, is beginning to be more widely recognized and understood. AMD is a complex disease that includes genetic, lifestyle, and environmental influences. Ischemia has long been understood to cause hypoxia and hypoxia is known to be present in retinal atrophy. OcuDyne, Inc. is a clinical stage company dedicated to exploring the potential causative implications of cardiovascular disease on AMD and treating this disease with cardiovascular therapies.
