News coverage for ADVM has centered on the development of its lead gene therapy candidate, ixoberogene soroparvovec (Ixo-vec, formerly ADVM-022). Updates have included milestones in the pivotal Phase 3 ARTEMIS trial for wet AMD, such as initiation, screening progress, and the completion of target enrollment of 284 patients, as reported in SEC filings and press releases. Additional articles have highlighted long-term follow-up data from earlier studies like OPTIC and LUNA, as well as scientific presentations on Ixo-vec biodistribution and aflibercept expression in the eye.
Investors following ADVM-related news can also see announcements about regulatory designations for Ixo-vec, including Fast Track and RMAT status from the U.S. FDA, PRIME designation from the European Medicines Agency, and the Innovation Passport in the UK. Corporate updates have covered financing activities, inducement equity grants under the 2017 Inducement Plan, and participation in ophthalmology conferences.
