COVID-19 Analysis of Retinal Vein Occlusion Market

The reduction is largely due to the epidemic of COVID-19, which has led to stringent containment initiatives including social distancing, remote jobs, and closing factories and other economic operations, resulting in organisational difficulties. The whole supply chain has been affected, adversely affecting the market.

Takeda’s pharmaceutical drug moves on to be FDA approved, becoming the first ever remedy for a rare hereditary enzyme disorder with complications in blood clotting that end some of them fatally. Congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (cTTP), is a disease caused by mutation of ADAMTS13 gene which regulates the process of coagulation. As a result, there is no enzyme produced leading to clots forming in tiny vessels throughout the body. These clots are responsible for recurrent bleeding episodes like strokes and damaging several organs. In the US, this rare illness affects fewer than 1000 individuals according to FDA estimates. Current cTTP treatment involves prophylactic plasma-based therapy with deficient ADAMTS13 replacement aimed at reducing clotting and bleeding risks. Adzynma is a newly engineered version of the key enzyme made by Takeda.

In October 2022, Two Phase III trials of Genentech (Roche)'s Vabysmo hit primary endpoint in macular edema caused by branch and central retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) showing non-inferiority with Regeneron's Eylea. With respect to competing with Regeneron’s Eylea (aflibercept) in the ophthalmology market, data are giving more and more confidence in Vabysmo. Topline data from BALATON and COMINO trials announced showed that patients who received Vabysmo injections every four weeks up to 24 weeks had non-inferior visual acuity gains among those who have macular edema from BRVO or CRVO (central RVO). Compared with persons who get Eylea injections every four weeks.

In June 2022, Lonza and Kodiak Sciences Inc. opened a new custom-built bioconjugation facility within Lonza’s Ibex® Dedicate manufacturing complex in Visp, Switzerland. The facility will enable the commercial manufacture of Kodiak’s leading therapeutic candidate, KSI-301, an antibody biopolymer conjugate for retinal diseases. Once fully operational and subject to approval for commercial use of KSI-301, the facility is expected to have the capacity to produce over 10 million doses of KSI-301 per year. As a result of this collaboration, twelve full-time positions were created at Kodiak Sciences in Visp and an additional seventy at Lonza.
