The BRUNELLO trial presented results showing remigromig, a novel biologic activating the Wnt pathway, achieved noninferior visual outcomes compared to anti-VEGF ranibizumab for diabetic macular edema (DME). Separate trials MEERKAT and SANDCAT explore vamikibart, an anti-IL-6 antibody, as a new treatment for uveitic macular edema (UME).
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Medtech.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You can reframe diabetic eye disease treatments beyond anti-VEGF by focusing on remigromig’s Wnt pathway method, opening differentiation in a crowded space. Vamikibart’s anti-IL-6 for uveitic macular edema signals fresh opportunity in tough-to-treat retinal conditions.
