In this groundbreaking webinar, discover the latest in retina therapy programs and clinical research to enhance success in ophthalmic trials with insights from industry experts. With over 250 individual therapies in development to address these challenging-to-treat conditions including inherited retina diseases, diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration, the innovation within this space is likely unsurpassed by any other. Excitingly, many of these include novel mechanisms of action or gene therapies that show potential for different therapeutic impacts from current therapies on the market, such as treating conditions where there are no therapies with approved indications or targeting earlier-stage disease interventions.
As companies explore new therapies to address these disease states, new strategies are needed for clinical designs that measure therapeutic impact appropriate for the target patients and stage of disease. Join Ora’s Vice President of Posterior Segment Keith Lane, and Retina Specialist and Ora Head of LATAM Operations Dr. Joao (John) Trein, as they share lessons learned and important considerations for novel retina therapy programs.
