Excerpt from the Press Release:
WALTHAM, Mass., Oct. 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Apellis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: APLS) today announced that The Lancet published the positive 24-month results from the Phase 3 OAKS and DERBY studies evaluating SYFOVRE® (pegcetacoplan injection) for geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). SYFOVRE is the only treatment approved for use beyond 12 months in GA, a chronic disease and leading cause of vision loss.
In the publication, both every-other-month and monthly SYFOVRE showed a clinically meaningful reduction of GA lesion growth with increasing effects over time and a well-demonstrated safety profile in a broad population of more than 1,200 patients.
“The increasing treatment effects of SYFOVRE over time with both monthly and every-other-month dosing are exciting to see and meaningful for the field,” said Charles Wykoff, M.D., Ph.D., senior author and director of research, Retina Consultants of Texas. “The vision loss caused by GA takes a tremendous toll on patients and their families, impacting independence and well-being. SYFOVRE is a major advance for patients living with this progressive and relentless disease.”
