Overview

DE-120 + aflibercept is an investigational combination therapy under clinical evaluation for neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (AMD). DE-120 is a small molecule dual tyrosine kinase receptor inhibitor that targets both vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) signaling pathways, disrupting angiogenesis in the retina. Aflibercept is a recombinant fusion protein (commonly marketed as Eylea) that acts as a high-affinity decoy receptor for VEGF-A, VEGF-B, and placental growth factor (PlGF), preventing these ligands from activating their endogenous receptors and thus inhibiting pathological blood vessel formation. The combination aims to provide a synergistic antiangiogenic effect and potentially improve long-term visual outcomes in patients with subfoveal choroidal neovascularization secondary to AMD. DE-120 is developed by Santen; aflibercept is developed and commercialized by Regeneron and Bayer[1][3][4][5][7].
