OPT-302 Mechanism of Action Supports Investigation in DME
VEGF-C and its interaction with VEGFR-2 and VEGFR-3 plays a functional role in pathogenesis of DME:
-
OPT-302 has shown evidence of activity to resolve retinal fluid[1]
-
VEGFR-2 expression is greater in diabetic retina than non-diabetics[2,3,4]
-
VEGF-C is elevated in diabetic retinopathy[4]
-
Vitreous levels of VEGF-D are elevated in diabetes[5]
-
VEGF-C expression is elevated by glucose & pro-inflammatory cytokines[6,7]
-
Inhibition of VEGF-C and VEGF-D in adipose tissue of mice improves metabolic parameters and insulin sensitivity[8,9]
-
Advanced glycation end products accumulate faster in diabetics and stimulate VEGF-C expression and secretion from the RPE[6]
-
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in diabetic patients indicate that genetic variation in the VEGF-C gene is associated with diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema[10]
VEGF-C/D Signaling Pathway is Implicated in Diabetes

Conclusion
-
Current treatments target primarily VEGF-A; OPT-302 inhibits VEGF-C/D
-
The successful dose escalation of OPT-302 in combination with aflibercept in DME builds upon the similar favourable safety profile in combination with ranibizumab in nAMD
-
Evidence of a dose response for OPT-302 combination treatment on gains in BCVA in persistent DME, together with biological responses on anatomic measures in nAMD and DME indicates that Pan-VEGF (A, C and D) inhibition may offer benefits that exceed the inhibition of VEGF-A alone
-
Currently recruiting patients in two Phase 2 multi-center international trials:
-
~108 patient randomised controlled Phase 2a trial in DME
-
351 patient randomised controlled Phase 2b trial in nAMD
-
Primary data readouts 2019 (DME) and early 2020 (nAMD)
