Clearside Biomedical (Nasdaq: CLSD) presented positive data from its ODYSSEY Phase 2b trial for CLS-AX in wet AMD at the 2024 AAO Annual Meeting. The trial demonstrated extended duration and stable vision, with an 84% reduction in injection frequency after the initial dose. Approximately 90% of participants did not require additional treatment up to 4 months, 81% up to 5 months, and 67% up to 6 months.

CLS-AX's target product profile aims to provide flexible dosing similar to a biologic with the potential extended duration of a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). The company believes these results support advancing CLS-AX into Phase 3 development for wet AMD. Multiple presentations highlighted the versatility of Clearside's SCS Microinjector® for delivering therapies to the back of the eye through the suprachoroidal space.

3. 67% of CLS-AX participants not requiring additional treatment up to 6 months
4. 84% reduction in treatment burden over 6 months
