Our Co-founder and CEO, David Kirn, MD, recently shared updates on 4DMT’s #retinal programs – including 4D-150 for #wetAMD and #DME, and 4D-175 for the treatment of #geographicatrophy – with Healio | Ocular Surgery News at CTS Retina. David also provided insight into the next steps in developing these programs, with the initiation of the wet AMD Phase 3 #clinicaltrial expected in Q1 2025 and reporting Phase 2 clinical trial data in #DME later this year. #ophthalmology
4D-150 demonstrated positive safety, retinal anatomy and durability results, as well as a reduction in the need for annualized anti-VEGF injections in patients with wet #AMD, in the PRISM phase 2 clinical trial. The company has also filed an investigational new drug application for 4D-175 for the treatment of #geographicatrophy.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the area where our sharpest vision occurs – our central vision. If you have AMD, you might find it challenging to see people’s faces, read, drive or take part in other daily activities. Compared to dry AMD #wetAMD generally causes more rapid and serious vision loss and may progress to blindness without treatment. These challenges may interfere with your social life and your sense of independence, making it harder to manage your daily needs and responsibilities. At 4DMT, we’re on a mission to unlock the full potential of genetic medicines for large market diseases like wet AMD.

Last week, we gathered for our first in-person All Hands of the year. It was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate our achievements from 2024 thus far, including our 9th IND/CTA clearance since our first in 2018. Highlights included updates from our executive team on our #clinical progress, a look ahead to H2 milestones, a lively Q&A session and welcoming 26 new team members to #4DMT! Thank you to everyone who made this event a success. Together, we continue to break boundaries and work as a team to prepare and execute relentlessly to reach our goals. Follow along as we continue this exciting journey.

#WetAMD is a type of macular degeneration where abnormal blood vessels (choroidal neovascularization or CNV) grow into the macula, the central area of the retina. As a result, CNV causes swelling and edema of the retina, bleeding and scarring, visual distortion and reduced visual acuity. Without treatment, this process can cause irreversible damage to central vision and potentially lead to blindness. Our lead clinical candidate, 4D-150, has the potential to significantly reduce treatment burden and control disease activity, revolutionizing the treatment approach for patients with wet AMD.

Today, we announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance of the Investigational New Drug Application (IND) for our R100 vector-based intravitreal #geneticmedicine, 4D-175, for the treatment of people living with #GeographicAtrophy (GA). The GAZE clinical trial will assess 4D-175 in patients with GA secondary to AMD. We are encouraged by the validation to date that supports our Therapeutic Vector Evolution platform, with over 150 patients treated with the next-generation R100 vector.

#CysticFibrosis (CF) is a rare, progressive, #genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas and other organs. CF is a complex disease and the types of symptoms and severity can differ widely from person to person. As people with CF live longer, their disease manifests in different ways, forcing them to confront new challenges related to life with the disease, including infections, CF-related diabetes, gastrointestinal issues, reproductive health, mental health and more. We are committed to advancing potentially transformative therapies that slow or halt the progression of lung damage to benefit all people living with CF. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/giTk5Y9t
