25. Diabetic Macular Edema DME can occur at early stages of DR and is the #1 cause of vision loss in diabetic patients No satisfactory treatment –Standard of care = laser photocoagulation reduces vision loss in 50% patients –Off-label corticosteroids are less efficacious than laser over time and cause cataract and increased IOP –Anti-VEGF therapies look promising (Phase II) but require frequent injections Need for a new potent and safe, conveniently administered therapy

27. What is Diabetic Retinopathy? DR is a common complication of Diabetes Mellitus –Two major changes leading to vision loss in DR: DME and retina NV –Vascular leakage leads to retinal swelling, new vessels –Causes permanent loss of photoreceptor cells = vision loss 5-year market estimation: $6.3billion – Assumes 10% market share @ year 5, 20% AAGR –5.3 million patients in US ~100% of Type I diabetic patients will develop retinopathy ~60% of Type II diabetic patients

28. Histopathology of Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) Degeneration of pericytes Impairment of vascular endothelium – -impaired blood-retinal barrier Increased permeability - vascular leakage -Diabetic Macular Edema Basement membrane thickening Overproliferation of endothelial cells – -neovascularization (NV) – -proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) Hemorrhage, retinal detachment Retinal neuron damage

29. What is Macular Degeneration? AMD afflicts 1/3 of those over age 70, 30-50MM total 3 rd leading cause of blindness (cataracts & glaucoma) –Prevalence to increase by 50% by 2020 Permanent loss of central vision: can’t perform basic tasks Current drugs prevent AMD progression, after vision loss
