Allegro Ophthalmics, LLC, has announced that the results of its U.S. Phase 2 study evaluating risuteganib (Luminate®) for the treatment of intermediate nonexudative age-related macular degeneration (dry AMD) will be presented during the 19th European Society of Retina Specialists (EURETINA) Congress that is being held September 5-8 in Paris, France and at The Retina Society 2019 Annual Meeting, which is being held September 11-15 in London, UK.
n June, Allegro announced topline results of the risuteganib Phase 2 intermediate dry AMD clinical trial, which met its primary endpoint with 48 percent of patients in the risuteganib arm at week 28 gaining ≥ 8 letters in visual acuity from baseline, compared to 7 percent of patients in the sham group at week 12 (p=0.013). Risuteganib was found to be safe with no reported drug related serious adverse events (SAEs). In addition to complete best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) data, secondary outcomes for several patient cases will be presented at EURETINA and The Retina Society meeting.
Today, Allegro also announced that the results of its ALG-1007 ex-U.S. proof-of-concept clinical trial for the treatment of dry eye disease (DED) will be presented during the 37th Congress of the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS), which is being held September 14-18 in Paris, France. ALG-1007, a topical drop, is the company’s second exploratory integrin-regulating drug candidate. In May, Allegro announced that the ex-U.S. proof-of-concept clinical trial concluded that ALG- 1007 was well-tolerated and demonstrated a dose-response with improvement of the signs and symptoms of DED as early as two weeks.
