Bull points
- We're well aligned with AbbVie on this guidance and we're focused on ensuring a successful program, including significant commercial and clinical value.
- we view initiation of the pivotal in the first half of '25, which emphasizes the time, energy, and effort that will be put into the end of Phase II discussion, allowing us to accelerate the pivotal initiation overall.
- we feel strongly at REGENXBIO in alignment with AbbVie that the unique nature of the data we're seeing in diabetic retinopathy and the unique unmet need is very attractive for bringing that forward as the potential first application of the suprachoroidal delivery approach.
Bear points
- This is something that I think people should be cautious about generating data in certain populations.
- we've talked often about the fact that, in general, RGX-202 also holds a unique potential position in the market as boys are certainly going to be excluded from access to other treatments due to preexisting immunology, just like they would be for our own.
