Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Welcome to RetinUp: AAO recap and interview with Cedric Francois

Q: Cedric, how do you go from a surgery resident in Belgium to research and transplantation to a CEO of a major company with a groundbreaking treatment for macular degeneration?

It was a journey of serendipity and deliberate choices, including exposure to early transplantation work, opportunities to involve himself in entrepreneurial ventures, and forming a tight team that could navigate funding, scientific milestones, and regulatory pathways.

GLOBE Project & FDA Uncertainty | Arshad Khanani, MD, MA, on Clinical Trials at the Summit | Plus MacTel Image of the Month

Q: What makes CTS unique for attendees and what should first-timers prepare for?

CTS emphasizes small, invited attendance to foster meaningful hallway interactions with CEOs and key opinion leaders, features fireside chats and rapid-fire sessions, and ends with data-heavy sessions and a video competition, so first-timers should come prepared for dense schedules and active networking opportunities.

GLOBE Project & FDA Uncertainty | Arshad Khanani, MD, MA, on Clinical Trials at the Summit | Plus MacTel Image of the Month

Q: What is the current status of FDA leadership and why does it matter for retina drugs?

There is leadership turnover with acting commissioners and no Senate-confirmed top roles, which introduces uncertainty about approval timelines, regulatory guidance, and the ability to move novel retina therapies through the pipeline.

GLOBE Project & FDA Uncertainty | Arshad Khanani, MD, MA, on Clinical Trials at the Summit | Plus MacTel Image of the Month

Q: What is the GLOBE Project and how might it affect retina practices financially?

It's a government-led demonstration that uses a common denominator based on the lowest prices in other countries, which could lower drug prices for practices; however, the actual impact on drug payments to practices is limited to rebates back to the government after ASP is established, so the usual practice economics may remain intact, though overall reimbursement could face pressure.

Elizabeth Cifers on Coding Risk, Modifier -25 Enforcement, and the Rise of Pre-Pay Audits

Q: How has CMS changed its auditing approach and how should practices respond?

CMS is moving toward prevent-and-detect audits using data analytics to identify risk; practices should enhance documentation quality, ensure proper use of modifiers, and consider external audits to validate internal processes and reduce risk.
