Frequently asked questions about AKB-9778

What is AKB-9778 used for?

AKB-9778, also known as razuprotafib, is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), a condition affecting the retina in people with diabetes. It is being developed by EyePoint, Inc. (EYPT) and is currently in Phase 2 clinical development.

What does AKB-9778 target?

AKB-9778 is a Tie 2 activator. It works by activating the Tie 2 receptor, which plays a role in vascular stability and may help address the underlying vascular abnormalities associated with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy. This mechanism is being evaluated in clinical trials for its potential to treat NPDR.

Who makes AKB-9778?

AKB-9778 is being developed by EyePoint, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol EYPT. The company is conducting clinical research on this investigational therapy for nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy.

What phase is AKB-9778 in?

AKB-9778 is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational drug, meaning it has not been approved by regulatory authorities and is still undergoing clinical trials to evaluate its safety and efficacy for treating nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy.

What clinical trials is AKB-9778 in?

AKB-9778 has been studied in a Phase 2 clinical trial with the identifier NCT03197870, known as the TIME-2b Study. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial enrolled 167 participants with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy in the United States and has been completed.

Is AKB-9778 the same as razuprotafib?

Yes, AKB-9778 is also known as razuprotafib. The TIME-2b clinical trial, identified as NCT03197870, refers to the drug as both AKB-9778 and razuprotafib, confirming that these names refer to the same investigational therapy for nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy.
