EyePoint reported a corporate update and anticipated 2026 milestones for its lead product candidate, DURAVYU. "Following an incredibly successful year of execution in 2025, EyePoint is positioned to deliver on key priorities across both of our late-stage programs, wet AMD and DME, in 2026," said Jay S. Duker, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of EyePoint. "As we prepare for a milestone-rich year, we continue to be guided by scientific rigor, a de-risked clinical approach, and a patient-centric focus that define our principles. With topline data from our Phase 3 wet AMD program anticipated beginning in mid-2026, we are actively preparing for an expeditious NDA filing and FDA review to ensure we deliver DURAVYU to patients as soon as possible. Additionally, we remain on track to dose the first patient in our Phase 3 DME program in the first quarter of 2026, further solidifying DURAVYU's position as the only sustained release TKI in development for this multi-billion-dollar indication for which there is a significant need for new therapeutic options."
