Date/Time: October 17, 4:46 p.m. ET About Surabgene Lomparvovec (sura-vec, ABBV-RGX-314)
Sura-vec is being investigated as a potential one-time treatment for wet AMD, diabetic retinopathy and other chronic retinal conditions. Sura-vec consists of the NAV® AAV8 vector, which encodes an antibody fragment designed to inhibit vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Sura-vec is believed to inhibit the VEGF pathway by which new, leaky blood vessels grow and contribute to the accumulation of fluid in the retina.1 ABOUT REGENXBIO Inc.
