Multifocal Electroretinography Changes after UBX1325 (Foselutoclax) Treatment in Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration

<b>Background/Objectives</b>: The objective of this study was to determine the treatment effect of foselutoclax in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) by multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) and evaluate mfERG as a potential clinical endpoint in AMD studies. <b>Methods</b>: A total of five subjects were included in the study who had active choroidal neovascularization and a history of at least two anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections in the last 6 months. Subjects received a 50 µL intravitreal injection of foselutoclax at the baseline visit and Weeks 4, 24, and 28 of the study period. <b>Results</b>: After foselutoclax treatment, the largest improvement in the mfERG N1-P1 response density occurred at Week 8 as three of five subjects achieved a ≥20% gain. In addition, three of five subjects demonstrated a BCVA improvement of ≥5 ETDRS letters over baseline at Weeks 4, 8, and 24. The mean change in BCVA demonstrated statistical significance in Weeks 4 and 8, showing increases of 5 (<i>p</i> = 0.02) and 6.2 (<i>p</i> = 0.02) letters, respectively. <b>Conclusions</b>: Foselutoclax treatment was shown to have the potential to recover outer retinal function as determined by mfERG and BCVA at approximately Week 8 of treatment.
