Israel’s Everads Therapy is a biotech startup developing optimized retinal therapies by leveraging its novel suprachoroidal delivery technology. The firm released the initial clinical results from a first-in-human study of its platform for non-surgical delivery of therapeutics to the back of the eye via the suprachoroidal space.
Initial clinical results from a first-in-human study were presented at the 24th EURETINA Congress in Barcelona. The study (NCT06314217) is an open-label safety and performance trial that employs the Everads Injector to deliver a triamcinolone acetonide suspension suprachoroidally for the treatment of patients with diabetic macular edema (DME). The presentation, titled “A Novel Suprachoroidal Delivery Technology: Results from a First in Human Pilot Study – Cohort 1,” is available as an e-poster and will be published on the company’s website following the congress.
Yoreh Barak, MD, Head of Retina at the Department of Ophthalmology at Rambam Medical Center and the study’s Principal Investigator, stated, “The data reported today confirm the effectivity, ease of use and tolerability of the Everads Injector for suprachoroidal delivery. The ability for an individual physician in an office setting to deliver drug non-surgically via this promising administration route could lead to the development of more effective and less invasive treatments for posterior segment eye diseases.”
