UBX1325 Led to a Statistically Significant and Clinically Meaningful Improvement in Visual Acuity in Patients with Diabetic Macular Edema Through 48 Weeks A single dose of UBX1325 demonstrated: UBX1325-treated patients had a significant improvement in BCVA of +6.2 ETDRS letters from baseline and +5.6 ETDRS letters compared to sham at 48 weeks Approximately 53% of UBX1325-treated patients did not require any additional injections through 48 weeks There was more than a 30-week difference in median time-to-first-rescue favoring UBX1325 over sham Retinal structure was maintained in UBX1325-treated patients with a central subfield thickness that was lower than baseline and was -37.9 µm compared to sham at 48 weeks UBX1325 had a favorable safety and tolerability profile with no evidence of intraocular inflammation  Phase 2 BEHOLD Study Data Highlights 24 April 2023 UBX1325 may be an important future therapeutic option for patients with diabetic macular edema

Summary of Findings and Concordance of Evidence Supporting a Treatment Effect of UBX1325 in Diabetic Macular Edema Had a generally favorable safety and tolerability profile with no intraocular inflammation Led to a majority of patients achieving a rescue-free interval of at least 48 weeks and may represent the potential for disease modification Maintained retinal structure throughout the duration of the study without the need for anti-VEGF rescue Improved visual acuity at 48 weeks by 6.2 letters from baseline after a single injection @Vicki Can we make the this slide a little more punchy/less flat?
