Eyecelerator is an internationally recognized innovation and business forum focused on bringing together scientific and clinical excellence, innovative companies in ophthalmology, strategic partners and investors. It will be held in conjunction with the scientific meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology between October 17-20. The company's presence at Eyecelerator aims to increase awareness of Annexin and the company's clinical development program in ophthalmology, as well as to meet potential partners in both the life science industry and the capital market.

The company has recently appointed a Medical Advisory Board that will now meet in person at the AAO conference to discuss both the overall development strategy and detailed study-related plans for ANXV in RVO. The Board is expected to provide important advice and guidance ahead of meetings with regulatory authorities, including the US FDA, regarding the most appropriate endpoints to evaluate in continued clinical studies ahead of a future product approval. This is also important in the context of partnership discussions.

"We are very happy to have been selected to present at Eyecelerator. It is a unique opportunity to meet leading ophthalmologists, industry players and potential partners in an arena that is focused on innovation in eye diseases. The conference is a strategically important platform to present our promising data with the drug candidate ANXV in RVO, as well as our ongoing clinical phase 2a study where we are also evaluating ANXV as a treatment for the serious eye disease diabetic retinopathy for the first time,” says Anders Haegerstrand, CEO of Annexin Pharmaceuticals.

"The first formal meeting with the company's newly established Medical Advisory Board, consisting of leading experts in the field, so-called "key opinion leaders" (KOLs), is a milestone. These KOLs, have a deep understanding and broad experience in clinical drug development and treatment of patients with vision threatening retinal diseases. We look forward to receiving their views on our plans so that we are optimally prepared for meetings with regulatory authorities, such as FDA,” says Anna Frostegård, Chief Scientific and Medical Officer at Annexin Pharmaceuticals.
