DMT is a leading late‑stage biotechnology company advancing durable and disease‑targeted therapeutics with potential to transform treatment paradigms and provide unprecedented benefits to patients. The Company’s lead product candidate 4D-150 is designed to be a backbone therapy forming the foundation of treatment of blinding retinal vascular diseases by providing multi‑year sustained delivery of anti‑VEGF (aflibercept and anti‑VEGF‑C) with a single, safe, intravitreal injection, which substantially reduces the treatment burden associated with current bolus injections.
The Company’s lead indication for 4D-150 is wet age‑related macular degeneration, which is currently in Phase 3 development, and second indication is diabetic macular edema.
