EyePoint's cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities stood at $299.3 million, expected to fund operations into 2026. The company's R&D efforts are focused on DURAVYU, currently in Phase 2 trials for wet AMD, NPDR, and DME, with Phase 3 trials planned for the second half of 2024. Despite the Phase 2 PAVIA trial not meeting its primary endpoint, the company remains committed to reviewing the full data set to determine the path forward. EyePoint also highlighted the appointment of a new Chief Medical Officer and the results of a subgroup analysis from the DAVIO 2 trial, which supported the efficacy of DURAVYU. Looking ahead, EyePoint anticipates continued significant expenses and operating losses as it advances its clinical programs and seeks marketing approvals.
