Multi Targeted MOA

STRONG

VEGF-binding affinity up to ~100-fold vs ranibizumab1

 

BROAD

Unique multi-targeted trap is the only anti-VEGF that blocks all VEGFR-1 ligands, including VEGF and PGF1,a

 

LONG-LASTING

Delivers long-lasting anti-VEGF activity up to 2x longer than ranibizumab2-4

 

 

In the treatment of DME,

even with complete VEGF blockade by ranibizumab or bevacizumabb, PGF would still be available to bind VEGFR-1 allowing, for example, further escalation of inflammation in DME1,5-7
