I can find no information on Lucentis being developed for anything other than AMD.

It’s just a matter of time—a drug that is safe and effective in wet AMD is more than likely going to work in DME too. If Lucentis is approved for AMD, it ought to garner good off-label penetration in DME from the get-go.

The recent OSIP price drop has made me consider buying back in. However, I think I’ll wait for the release of the Lucentis ANCHOR data, which are expected soon.

Goddard has based his evaluation of Macugen—at least in part—on the notion that Lucentis may not work as well in predominantly-classic AMD as it does in minimally-classic/occult AMD. The ANCHOR data may blow this idea out of the water.
