Commentary
FDMT showed 2-yr data from their ph1/2 PRISM study over the weekend at ASRS, and durability into nd
cohort continues to support high expectations of ph3 success next year… there’s no sign of accelerating rescue
use with time, safety continues to look extremely clean, and feedback from docs continues to be positive
compared to extended-duration VEGFs or TKIs.
Most impt: rescue injection needs are stable
Injection freedom is an impt metric – and there is one addl pt in ph3-like cohort that got rescue between
18mo and 2 years (bringing injection-free # to 10/15 = 66% in this cohort).
However, as next-gen wetAMD field continues to evolve, we continue to think that stability of effect over time
is an even more-impt factor – especially when we consider the role for next-gen non-VEGF agents in pts with
residual drying needs on top of best available VEGF therapy… and FDMT continues to show strong, durable
control of CST, with no sign of accelerating rescue needs – pts don’t seem to need more and more rescue over
time once they’ve had their first rescue shot (Exhibit 1).
Commercial profile is very strong, though it’s still GTx
Overall treatment burden reduction remains very appealing to docs – 87% for ph3-like group and 78% for the
broad group… folks we talk to seem very enthusiastic about potential as a baseline therapy (from which to
layer on other MoAs if VEGF doesn’t fully cut it). Long term safety continues to be excellent, with minimal
