Frequently asked questions about Tabirafusp tedromer

What is Tabirafusp tedromer used for?

Tabirafusp tedromer is an investigational small molecule being developed for the treatment of Diabetic Macular Edema (DME), a condition affecting the retina in people with diabetes. It is currently in Phase 3 clinical development and has not been approved by regulatory authorities.

What does Tabirafusp tedromer target?

Tabirafusp tedromer targets IL-6 and VEGF, two proteins involved in inflammation and blood vessel growth that contribute to Diabetic Macular Edema. By inhibiting these targets, the drug aims to address the underlying disease processes in the eye.

Who is developing Tabirafusp tedromer?

Tabirafusp tedromer is being developed by Kodiak Sciences Inc (NASDAQ: KOD), a biopharmaceutical company focused on treatments for retinal diseases. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy in patients with Diabetic Macular Edema.

What phase is Tabirafusp tedromer in?

Tabirafusp tedromer is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational drug, meaning it has not yet received regulatory approval and is still being studied in clinical trials to determine its safety and effectiveness for treating Diabetic Macular Edema.

What clinical trials is Tabirafusp tedromer in?

Tabirafusp tedromer is being studied in a Phase 3 clinical trial with the identifier NCT07734844, known as the ALTO study. This randomized, double-blind, active-controlled trial is comparing Tabirafusp tedromer to aflibercept in approximately 910 participants with Diabetic Macular Edema in the United States.
