Thanks, Dave, for your perspective.

Just to be clear on the systemic-safety matter: it is not my contention that Evizon necessarily does have safety problems. Rather, my view is that it would be surprising if it turned out that a systemically-administered anti-angiogenic drug were efficacious in the eye without having at least some mechanistic side effects common to anti-angio drugs as a class.

Moreover, in preclinical studies, Evizon was not efficacious when given by intravitreal injection.

If you are long GENR, I think your biggest worry—until there are compelling data from a controlled study—should be the worry that Evizon might be a glorified placebo that doesn’t do much of anything, good or bad. Regards, Dew
