Better Vision.

Healthier Lives.

Dedicated to deliver superior vision for fuller and healthier lives

Better vision is fundamental to living a healthier life.

 

For people with vision-threatening diseases, including wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD), achieving the best vision possible is essential to engage in daily activities and enjoy a fuller life.

Elevating the current standard of care in wet AMD

Our team is working to achieve the unprecedented – delivery of superior vision to patients with wet AMD by developing its novel, first-in-class anti-VEGF-C/D ‘trap’ inhibitor in combination with current standard-of-care anti-VEGF-A therapies.

UP TO
60%
of wet AMD patients treated with anti-VEGF-A fail to achieve 20/40 vision, essential to improve independence such as a person’s ability to drive, read and maintain other activities of daily living.
25%
or 1 in 4 adults with vision loss report depression or anxiety.
16%
Losing 1 ETDRS letter of vision per year can increase the risk of mortality by 16% through associated declines in activities of daily living.

“Superior vision empowers individuals and their families to pursue their passions and focus on life’s brilliance. At Opthea, we are dedicated to pioneering innovation by pushing the boundaries of what’s possible to improve sight.”

Dedicated to Achieving the Unprecedented

Sozinibercept is the only product in late-stage clinical development for wet AMD that in combination with an anti-VEGF-A has the potential to be the first therapy in 20 years to deliver superior visual outcomes to patients suffering from this debilitating disease.

In a large Phase 2b clinical trial of 366 treatment-naïve wet AMD patients, sozinibercept demonstrated clinical evidence of superior visual outcomes in combination with standard-of-care ranibizumab*.

 

Sozinibercept is currently being evaluated in two fully enrolled pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials (COAST and ShORe) designed to assess the safety and superior efficacy of sozinibercept combination therapy versus standard-of-care anti-VEGF-A therapies for the treatment of wet AMD. Topline results for COAST are expected in early Q2/2025 and for ShORe in mid 2025.

Our Science Based on Bold Innovation

Sozinibercept combination therapy has the potential to elevate the standard of care by delivering superior visual outcomes.

Sozinibercept Fully Human Molecule

Current standard-of-care therapies have transformed the treatment of wet AMD by primarily inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A), a member of the VEGF signalling pathway which contributes to the pathophysiology of retinal diseases, including wet AMD.
 

 

The VEGF-C and VEGF-D signaling pathways are also important in the pathogenesis of retinal diseases, and evidence shows they are upregulated following VEGF-A suppression. Blocking VEGF-A alone therefore may contribute to an incomplete response.
 

 

Sozinibercept is a novel, first-in-class VEGF-C/D ‘trap’ inhibitor designed to be used in combination with standard-of-care anti-VEGF-A therapies, with the potential to deliver superior visual outcomes.
