WATERTOWN, Mass., Aug. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EyePoint, Inc. (Nasdaq: EYPT), a company committed to developing and commercializing innovative therapeutics to improve the lives of patients with serious retinal diseases, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, and highlighted recent corporate developments.
“With topline data from our pivotal Phase 3 LUGANO wet AMD trial expected this month, followed by LUCIA in the fourth quarter, and enrollment now completed in our pivotal Phase 3 DME program, we continue to execute across our clinical programs,” said Jay S. Duker, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of EyePoint. “The LUGANO and LUCIA data readouts represent transformative advancement in the wet AMD landscape, potentially positioning DURAVYU as the foundational treatment option for sustained patient care.”
R&D Updates:
DURAVYU (vorolanib intravitreal insert)
Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration (Wet AMD)
- Pivotal Phase 3 wet AMD clinical trials are on track, with topline data readout for LUGANO expected in August 2026. LUCIA topline data results are expected in the fourth quarter of 2026.
- The two identical non-inferiority trials versus on-label aflibercept enrolled over 900 patients, include every six-month re-dosing of DURAVYU, were designed in alignment with the FDA, and follow a clear and recognized regulatory approval pathway.
- In May 2026, a positive Data Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC) meeting recommended that both the LUGANO and LUCIA trials continue as planned with no protocol modifications. The interim masked Phase 3 safety data remain consistent with the favorable safety observed in four previously completed DURAVYU clinical trials in over 190 patients, with no drug-related safety concerns.
Diabetic Macular Edema (DME)
- Pivotal Phase 3 COMO and CAPRI clinical trials have completed enrollment, together enrolling over 480 patients in five months.
- The identical non-inferiority trials versus an on-label aflibercept control include every six-month re-dosing and follow a clear and recognized regulatory approval pathway.
- Topline data for both DME trials are anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2027.
Recent and Upcoming Presentations at Medical Conferences
- In May 2026, we presented new preclinical data at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) 2026 Annual Meeting that further demonstrates vorolanib’s inhibition of pro-inflammatory IL-6 signaling.
- Through extensive in vitro and in vivo studies, vorolanib was identified as a potent inhibitor of JAK1, a critical transducer of IL-6 signaling. These data further highlight DURAVYU's multi-mechanism of action and its potential to deliver a synergistic anti-inflammatory effect alongside its established VEGF receptor and PDGF receptor inhibition in the treatment of wet AMD and DME.
- In July 2026, we delivered multiple oral presentations at the American Society of Retina Specialists (“ASRS”) Annual Meeting supporting DURAVYU’s potentially best-in-class therapeutic profile as a sustained release tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) being developed for multiple indications:
- A characterization of the multi-mechanism of action of DURAVYU in retinal exudative diseases
- Overview of key learnings from the Phase 2 DAVIO 2 clinical trial in wet AMD
- Post-hoc analyses of patients from the Phase 2 DAVIO 2 clinical trial who met Phase 3 criteria
- Overview of DME clinical program and key learnings: from the Phase 2 VERONA trial to pivotal Phase 3
- Accepted to deliver multiple presentations at the Retina Society Annual Meeting in September, underscoring the multi-modal activity and broad treatment potential of DURAVYU and enthusiasm from the retinal community for new treatment options in multiple serious retinal diseases. This will be the first conference where LUGANO data will be presented to the retinal community.
Recent Corporate Highlight
- In July 2026, Tarek S. Hassan, M.D., was appointed as Chief Strategic Science Officer. A globally recognized retina specialist and key opinion leader with more than 35 years of experience, Dr. Hassan provides strategic guidance across the Company’s portfolio to optimize development, potential commercialization, and growth opportunities.
