Frequently asked questions about ADVM-022

What is ADVM-022 used for?

ADVM-022 is an investigational gene therapy being developed for wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). It is designed to deliver a gene that produces aflibercept, a protein that blocks vascular endothelial growth factor, to reduce abnormal blood vessel growth and leakage in the eye.

What does ADVM-022 target?

ADVM-022 targets aflibercept, a protein that acts as a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor. By delivering the gene for aflibercept, the therapy aims to provide sustained production of this anti-angiogenic protein within the eye to treat neovascular age-related macular degeneration.

Who makes ADVM-022?

ADVM-022 is being developed by Adverum Biotechnologies, Inc., a publicly traded company listed on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol ADVM. The company is focused on developing gene therapies for serious retinal diseases.

What phase is ADVM-022 in?

ADVM-022 is currently in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational therapy and has not been approved by the FDA. A Phase 1 trial has been completed, and a Phase 2 trial, known as LUNA, is active but not recruiting participants.

What clinical trials is ADVM-022 in?

ADVM-022 has been studied in two clinical trials. The first, NCT03748784, was a Phase 1 study in patients with wet age-related macular degeneration and was completed. The second, NCT05536973, is the Phase 2 LUNA trial in treatment-experienced patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration, which is active but not recruiting.

Is ADVM-022 the same as aflibercept?

ADVM-022 is not the same as aflibercept. ADVM-022 is a gene therapy that encodes for aflibercept, meaning it delivers the genetic instructions for cells to produce the aflibercept protein. Aflibercept itself is an approved biologic drug, while ADVM-022 is an investigational therapy designed to provide long-term delivery of this protein.
