Shares of EyePoint Pharmaceuticals climbed after the company said it received positive 16-week interim data for its Verona clinical trial evaluating Duravyu in patients with diabetic macular edema.
The stock was up 35% to $12.84 in Monday morning trading. Shares have fallen 44% this year.
The developer of treatments for retinal diseases said Duravyu demonstrated early, sustained, and clinically meaningful improvement in best-corrected visual acuity during clinical trial.
Diabetic macular edema is manifested as retinal thickening caused by the accumulation of intraretinal fluid, according to the National Institutes of Health.
The company expects to report the full topline results in the first quarter of 2025, once all patients complete the trial.
