MULTI-TARGETED MOA

See EYLEA® 2mg in action

DUAL-TRAP MECHANISM

STRONG

VEGF-binding affinity up to ~100-fold vs ranibizumab

 

BROAD

Unique multi-targeted trap is the only anti-VEGF that blocks all VEGFR-1 ligands, including VEGF and PGF,

 

LONG-LASTING

Delivers long-lasting anti-VEGF activity up to 2x longer than ranibizumab,,

 

 

In the treatment of DME,

even with complete VEGF blockade by ranibizumab or bevacizumab, PGF would still be available to bind VEGFR-1 allowing, for example, further escalation of inflammation in DME,,,

    • a
      PGF only binds VEGFR-1.
    • b
      Bevacizumab has no marketing authorization for use in ophthalmic indications.
