- Verisome is a new biodegradable and injectable intraocular drug delivery system that is designed to provide sustained release of medications over extended periods of time from 1 week to over 1 year. - An ongoing Phase I clinical trial is evaluating the safety and tolerability of Verisome (IBI 20089) containing triamcinolone acetonide for the treatment of cystoid macular edema. No significant safety issues have been reported to date. - Preliminary results from the first 10 patients in the trial suggest the Verisome system is able to control drug release as intended and reduce macular edema without serious adverse events. Further Phase II testing is planned to begin in the fourth quarter

- Good morning – on behalf of my coauthors, I would like to introduce to you the Verisome. A new, injectable sustained release and biodegradable drug delivery system.
- I do not have an equity interest in ICON, but do receive research funding.
- With the FDA approval of Macugen and Lucentis, medical therapies for ocular disease are exceptionally promising. But, the frequency of these invasive treatments or hardware inside the eye are a drawback. This leads us to the question of whether a versatile, effective biodegradable delivery platform can be developed.
- ICON Bioscience has developed the Verisome Drug Delivery Technology that is injectable through a standard 30g needle. This verisome is biodegradable and versatile for different drugs including steroids, NSAIDS, and biologic materials. The duration is determined by the volume adminstered and can range from 1 day to one year.
- Here we can see an in vitro image of triamcinolone with this verisome technology. it is being tested in two forms – one 6 month and one 12 month dose. This is a linear system that provides the same concentration of drug on a daily basis with the duration dependent on the volume of drug administered.
- In a rabbit model, No initial burst or spike in the drug concentration was seen and a linear volume related duration was observed.
- Today, I will be presenting preliminary results of the first Phase I of the verisome technology in humans. Triamcinolone for cystoid macular edema due to retinal vein occlusion or pseudophakia was selected for this study.
- As this is a Phase I study, Safety is the primary endpoint. Secondary endpoints are systemic safety and changes in vision and OCT at day 180.
- Patients with a diagnosis of CME due to RVO with vision better than 20/200 and CRT greater than 250um were included. Patients with a diagnosis of glaucoma, on any glaucoma medications or who were known steroid responders were excluded.
- After IRB approval and written consent were obtained, Patients received one injection at baseline and are being followed though the course of one year. Cohort two was started once all patients in the shorter group cleared the primary safety endpoint at day 60.
- 10 patients have been enrolled at 3 sites between October 2007 and July 2008. Patients have a mean age of 73 years and are predominantly female. All patients have CME due to RVO. Mean Baseline vision was 48 letters and mean OCT CRT was 508um. The study is ongoing and I will be presenting data as of August 1 st .
- The primary endpoint is safety. One patient in each group had an increase in IOP but all patients have been managed with topical anti-glaucoma medications. One vitreous hemorrhage was observed in the longer duration group, but it is unknown whether this is treatment related. No endophthalmitiis, cataract, retinal detachment, or other drug related adverse events have been reported.
- A secondary endpoint is change in OCT CRT. This is a graph of patients in the longer acting group. This reduction in retinal thickness demonstrates a controlled release efficacy through 120 days. Data collection is ongoing.
- At baseline, retinal edema is seen on the macular map and radial line scans. The cysts are absent by day 7 and remain so.
- Here is a slit lamp photo of the verisome immediately after injection before it has settled down in the vitreous. And here is a fundus photo of it inside the eye. The verisome sits below the visual axis.
- On ultrasound imaging, we can see the verisome in the vitreous cavity of a rabbit model and then in our patient.
- In conclusion, this Phase I study of triamcinolone with the verisome technology has not shown any unexpected safety issues to date and controlled release efficacy has been confirmed. We look forward to starting enrollment in Phase II in the fourth quarter.
