Emerging vascular endothelial growth factor antagonists to treat neovascular age-related macular degeneration

Q2 · MEDICINE

Review

Author: Thomas A. Ciulla ; Rehan M Hussain

INTRODUCTION:

Evolving anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatments for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) include long acting agents, combination strategies involving new pathways, topical agents, sustained-release, and genetic therapy strategies. Areas covered: Brolucizumab and abicipar pegol have smaller molecular size, facilitating higher concentrations and potentially longer duration than current anti-VEGF agents. Agents being combined with anti-VEGFs include OPT-302 (to inhibit VEGF-C and VEGF-D); pegpleranib and rinucumab (to inhibit platelet derived growth factor, PDGF - but both failed to show consistently improved visual outcomes compared to anti-VEGF monotherapy); and RG7716, ARP-1536 and nesvacumab (to activate the Tie-2 tyrosine kinase receptor, which reduces permeability). X-82 is an oral anti-VEGF and anti-PDGF being tested in phase 2 studies. Topical anti-VEGF ± anti-PDGF drugs under study include pazopanib, PAN-90806, squalamine lactate, regorafinib, and LHA510. Sustained-release anti-VEGF delivery treatments, such as the ranibizumab Port Delivery System, GB-102, NT-503, hydrogel depot, Durasert, and ENV1305 aim to reduce the burden of frequent injections. Gene therapies with new viral vectors hold the potential to induce sustained expression of anti-angiogenic proteins via the retina's cellular apparatus, and include AVA-101/201, ADVM-202/302, AAV2-sFLT01, RGX314, and Retinostat. Expert opinion: There are many emerging anti-VEGF treatments that aim to improve visual outcomes and reduce the treatment burden of nAMD.

PURPOSE:

To assess the safety and efficacy of E10030 (Fovista; Ophthotech, New York, NY), a platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) antagonist, administered in combination with the anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agent ranibizumab (Lucentis; Roche, Basel, Switzerland) compared with ranibizumab monotherapy in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).

DESIGN:

Phase IIb global, multicenter, randomized, prospective, double-masked, controlled superiority trial.

PARTICIPANTS:

Four hundred forty-nine patients with treatment-naïve nAMD.

METHODS:

Participants were randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to 1 of the following 3 intravitreal treatment groups: E10030 0.3 mg in combination with ranibizumab 0.5 mg, E10030 1.5 mg in combination with ranibizumab 0.5 mg, and sham in combination with ranibizumab 0.5 mg (anti-VEGF monotherapy). Drugs were administered monthly in each of the groups for a total duration of 24 weeks.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:

The prespecified primary end point was the mean change in visual acuity (VA; Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy [ETDRS] letters) from baseline to 24 weeks.

RESULTS:

No significant safety issues were observed in any treatment group. The E10030 (1.5 mg) combination therapy regimen met the prespecified primary end point of superiority in mean VA gain compared with anti-VEGF monotherapy (10.6 compared with 6.5 ETDRS letters at week 24; P = 0.019). A dose-response relationship was evident at each measured time point commencing at 4 weeks. Visual acuity outcomes favored the E10030 1.5 mg combination therapy group regardless of baseline VA, lesion size, or central subfield thickness on optical coherence tomography. All clinically relevant treatment end points of visual benefit (≥15 ETDRS letter gain, final VA ≥20/40 or ≥20/25) and visual loss (≥1 ETDRS line loss, ≥2 ETDRS line loss, final VA ≤20/125 or ≤20/200) favored the E10030 1.5 mg combination group.

CONCLUSIONS:

In this phase IIb clinical trial, a 62% relative benefit from baseline was noted in the E10030 1.5 mg combination therapy group compared with the anti-VEGF monotherapy group. A favorable safety and efficacy profile of E10030 combination therapy for nAMD was evident across multiple clinically relevant end points. This highly powered study provides strong rationale for a confirmatory phase III clinical trial.

Astellas keeps the big buyouts rolling, inking $5.9B Iveric takeover ahead of FDA eye disease ruling

Astellas framed the deal to buy Iveric Bio as a way to further its focus on blindness and regeneration. The multibillion-dollar biotech buyouts keep on coming. Astellas Pharma is the latest drugmaker to get in on the act, agreeing to pay $5.9 billion to buy Iveric Bio and establish itself as a player in an emerging eye disease niche. Iveric is less than three months away from learning whether the FDA will approve avacincaptad pegol, a complement C5 protein inhibitor that reduced the rate of geographic atrophy (GA) progression in a phase 3 clinical trial. Patients with GA, a cause of irreversible loss of vision in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD), lacked treatments until recently, but the market is heating up fast. Apellis Pharmaceuticals won the first FDA approval for a GA drug, Syfovre, in February, and companies including AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson, Novartis and Roche are in pursuit. Iveric, a biotech formerly known as Ophthotech, is poised to be the first commercial rival to Apellis, though. That fact has caught Astellas’ attention. Astellas has agreed to pay $40 per share in cash to buy Iveric. The fee represents a 22% premium over Iveric’s closing price at the end of last week. That may seem light in the wake of the triple-digit premiums that GSK and Sanofi have paid recently for Bellus Health and Provention Bio, respectively, but it follows a steady rise in Iveric’s share price. The premium over Iveric’s March 31 share price is 64%. The willingness of Astellas to pay $5.9 billion for Iveric reflects the Japanese drugmaker’s desire to hit its 2025 sales target and need to add new growth drivers to offset the anticipated loss of revenue when the prostate cancer drug Xtandi loses patent protection in 2027. Astellas also framed the deal as a way to further its focus on blindness and regeneration. Cell and gene therapies are part of the strategy, but that side of the pipeline has stuttered, with enrollment in a phase 1 trial of GA candidate ASP7317 stopping for two years and a glaucoma prospect acquired in the Quethera buyout yet to reach the clinic. Buying Iveric will give Astellas a GA drug that could be approved by the time the deal closes in the third quarter and accelerate an expansion into ophthalmology by providing control of the commercial team and other infrastructure that the biotech has built up to support the launch. Earlier this year, Iveric said it was building a 120-person sales team that would include 50 to 70 field-based reps. The deal completes an impressive recovery for Iveric, which was on the ropes in 2017. Back then, a run of three clinical trial failures for Fovista sunk the biotech’s stock and wiped out the optimism generated when Novartis paid $200 million for ex-U.S. rights to the AMD asset. Yet, Iveric recovered, changing its name from Ophthotech and embarking on a GA strategy that culminates today in the Astellas buyout.

Iveric Bio’s Co-Founder Leaves to Return to Venture Capitalist Role

IVERIC bio’s co-founder and Executive Chairman David R. Guyer is stepping down from his role to return to his first love – investing. He’ll make a return to his former role at SV Health Investors as a Venture Partner. In it from day one, Guyer has guided the company from the boardroom since the retinal disease company’s 2007 inception. Then named Ophthotech, Guyer also led as CEO from 2013-2017. Iveric has been through some highs and lows in Guyer’s time. After a somewhat promising Phase II combination trial, the company’s wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) drug Fovista flopped badly in Phase III, failing to show any measurable benefit. Guyer had to make the tough call to cut 80% of staff, leaving its headcount at less than 50. From there, the company pivoted toward gene therapies, in-licensing a portfolio of eye disease-related treatments in development. This move led to the renaming of the Ophthotech to Iveric Bio, updating its Nasdaq symbol to the clever “ISEE” on the ticker. Iveric’s lead drug Zimura is a C5 inhibitor currently in development for the treatment of geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Zimura published positive Phase III results last fall and continues in a Phase II study for autosomal recessive Stargardt disease. “I am very excited about Iveric's phase 3 program of Zimura for the treatment of geographic atrophy secondary to age-related macular degeneration and look forward to continuing to serve the company as a senior advisor,” Guyer said. Guyer will remain a senior advisor to Iveric, without the weight of any executive powers. “As a co-founder, former Chief Executive Officer and most recently Executive Chair, David has been an integral part of Iveric Bio’s leadership, a trusted advisor and visionary in retinal medicine, and I sincerely thank him for his hard work and significant contributions to the Company,” stated Glenn P. Sblendorio, chief executive officer and president of Iveric Bio. “Iveric Bio's strong management team has evolved to the point where there is no longer a need for an Executive Chair,” Guyer added. “After more than 14 years on the Board, I feel that this is a good departure point such that I can return to my passion as a venture capitalist."
