Genentech presented positive one-year Phase III data for vamikibart treating uveitic macular edema (UME), showing sustained vision improvement and macular thickness reduction. The FDA accepted Genentech's biologics license application with a decision expected by July 2027, potentially establishing vamikibart as the first non-steroid targeted UME therapy.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Medtech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You can now prepare for a shift in uveitis treatment as Genentech moves vamikibart closer to approval, opening the market for non-steroid therapies. If you develop eye disease treatments, start engaging specialists exploring steroid alternatives.
