Roche Holding AG said Monday that its eye treatment Faricimab
met its primary endpoint in two phase 3 studies.
The Swiss pharmaceutical major said the studies evaluated the
drug--an investigational bispecific antibody--in people with
neovascular age-related macular degeneration. They showed that
people receiving Faricimab injections at intervals of up to 16
weeks achieved noninferior visual acuity outcomes compared with use
of a different drug.
The company said Faricimab was generally well tolerated and
didn't present new or unexpected safety signals.
The two studies were Tenaya and Lucerne, Roche said.
