BRISBANE, Calif., May 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Annexon, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANNX), a biopharmaceutical company advancing a late-stage clinical platform of novel therapies for people living with devastating classical complement-mediated neuroinflammatory diseases of the body, brain, and eye, today presented new analyses of ANX007 from the Phase 2 ARCHER trial in geographic atrophy (GA), and new preclinical data on the role of C1q in the pathogenic elimination of photoreceptor synapses and their protection with C1q blockade in GA. ANX007 is a first-in-class, non-pegylated antigen-binding fragment (Fab) designed to block C1q and activation of the classical complement cascade locally in the eye with an intravitreal formulation, and is the first therapeutic candidate for the treatment of GA to receive Priority Medicine (PRIME) designation by the European Medicines Agency. The data were presented at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) 2024 Annual Meeting.

Key Points: 
  • The data were presented at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) 2024 Annual Meeting.
  • “We are pleased to present additional clinical data from the ARCHER trial that are the first to show preservation of both vision and relevant anatomical structures following ANX007 treatment,” said Douglas Love, president and chief executive officer of Annexon.
  • “Importantly, the statistically significant preservation of photoreceptor anatomy measured by ellipsoid zone change highlights protection of key retinal structures associated with vision.
  • These two registrational trials are designed to confirm the Phase 2 ARCHER findings of protection against vision loss and underscore the unique neuroprotective mechanism of action of ANX007 and its competitive differentiation in visual function.
