“ALG:1001: Turning Off the Machinery of Angiogenesis”
ALG-1001 (Luminate®, Allegro Ophthalmics), a first-in-class integrin peptide therapy, met the primary endpoint of vision non-inferiority to bevacizumab (Avastin, Genentech Inc.), an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapy (anti-VEGF), with 12-week durability in a population of patients with mostly chronic diabetic macular edema (DME).
ALG-1001 seems to be a strong player with different mechanisms of action that benefit patients who have been receiving chronic anti-VEGF therapy and those who are treatment naïve.

“Restoring Cell Function to Block VEGF”
Integrin peptide therapy Luminate shows potential of extending DME treatment.
Anti-VEGF drugs have proven to be effective treatments for diabetic macular edema, but about half of this population does not respond to anti-VEGF therapy and monthly injections can be burdensome. A readout from the DEL MAR Phase IIB Stage 2 clinical trial of the integrin peptide agent Luminate (Allegro Ophthalmics) as sequential therapy with anti-VEGF shows the potential of extending out those injections.
