Frequently asked questions about ADVM-022

What is ADVM-022 used for?

ADVM-022 is an investigational gene therapy being developed for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD). It is designed to deliver a gene that produces aflibercept, a protein that blocks vascular endothelial growth factor, to treat the condition. The therapy is administered via intravitreal injection.

How does ADVM-022 work?

ADVM-022 targets aflibercept, a protein that inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor. By delivering the gene for aflibercept, the therapy aims to enable sustained production of the protein within the eye, potentially reducing the need for frequent anti-VEGF injections in patients with wet age-related macular degeneration.

Who is developing ADVM-022?

ADVM-022 is being developed by Adverum Biotechnologies, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol ADVM. The company is focused on gene therapies for ocular diseases.

What phase is ADVM-022 in?

ADVM-022 is currently in Phase 2 clinical development. It has completed a Phase 1 trial and is being evaluated in an active Phase 2 study. The drug is investigational and has not been approved by regulatory authorities.

What clinical trials is ADVM-022 in?

ADVM-022 has been studied in two clinical trials. The Phase 1 trial (NCT03748784) was completed in the United States with 30 participants. The Phase 2 trial (NCT05536973), called LUNA, is active but not recruiting, with 69 participants in the United States, France, and the United Kingdom.

Is ADVM-022 the same as aflibercept?

ADVM-022 is not the same as aflibercept. ADVM-022 is a gene therapy that delivers the gene for aflibercept, a protein that blocks vascular endothelial growth factor. The therapy is designed to produce aflibercept within the eye, whereas aflibercept itself is an approved anti-VEGF medication.
