FDA approves Roche ’s Vabysmo, the first bispecific antibody for the eye, to treat two leading causes of vision loss
Basel, 31  January 2022 - Roche (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Vabysmo™ (faricimab-svoa) for the treatment of neovascular or “wet” age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME). Neovascular AMD and DM E are two leading causes of vision loss worldwide.1 Vabysmo targets and inhibits two disease pathways linked to a number of vision-threatening retinal conditions by neutralising angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) and vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A).2 Vabysmo is the first and only FDA-approved injectable eye medicine...
