Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Viridian Executive Discusses FDA Approval of New TED Therapy

Q: Can you provide an update on market share goals and the scale of prescribers for Lumvoa in the TED space?

The company is targeting a concentrated group of about 2,000 prescribers who currently write IGF-1R TED treatments, in a market with an annualized value around $2 billion and a new-start dynamic where every patient is a new entrant to therapy.

Viridian Executive Discusses FDA Approval of New TED Therapy

Q: What do you believe is the biggest clinical differentiator for Lumvoa compared with the existing treatment option for TED, and is there an expected market share the company is aiming for?

Lumvoa differentiates itself with a rapid onset of action for proptosis and significant improvements in diplopia across both active and chronic TED, achieved in a shorter 12-week treatment course, which positions it to capture a substantial portion of a new-start market.

Alcon Acquires Staar for $1.5 Billion

Q: Can you talk about acyclidine and the drop's mechanism of action?

Abe Shimopenek explains that acyclidine is a new chemical entity that powers Viz, acting as a pupil-selective meiotic to create a pinhole pupil under 2 millimeters, which increases depth of focus and improves near vision with minimal stimulation of the ciliary body.

Vision Advocacy Leaders Speak Out Against Proposed NEI Cuts

Q: What is the See What Matters campaign aiming to achieve?

The campaign seeks to educate the public and policymakers about the value of NEI and to mobilize public support to preserve NEI's independence, including providing resources for community action and advocacy.

Vision Advocacy Leaders Speak Out Against Proposed NEI Cuts

Q: Why are proponents of NEI independence opposed to moving it into a broader neuroscience institute?

Opponents argue that consolidation would significantly reduce vision-specific research funding and attention, threaten the breadth of ophthalmology-related research beyond neuroscience, and potentially raise long-term costs by diminishing discovery and new treatments.
