R&D Day Highlights:

Phase 3 plans for DURAVYUTM in wet AMD, including key design elements of the Phase 3 LUGANO and LUCIA pivotal trials
o
Alignment on pathway to approval with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) based on positive End of Phase 2 meeting for two non-inferiority trials, 6-month redosing of DURAVYU and sham for masking with a one-year endpoint.
o
Each trial is expected to enroll approximately 400 patients with active wet AMD, including previously treated and treatment naïve patients, randomly assigned to either a

2.7mg dose of DURAVYU or an on-label aflibercept control. All patients to receive three monthly loading doses of aflibercept prior to DURAVYU with randomization occurring on Day 1.
o
The LUGANO (US) trial remains on track to initiate in 2H 2024 with LUCIA (US/ex-US) to follow.

Positive twelve-month safety and efficacy data from the Phase 2 DAVIO 2 clinical trial evaluating DURAVYUTMfor the treatment of wet AMD
o
Favorable safety profile – No DURAVYU related ocular or systemic SAEs
o
Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) – Statistically significant visual acuity outcomes with both DURAVYU arms change in visual acuity nearly identical to aflibercept control arm through 12 months after a single injection of DURAVYU
o
Central Subfield Thickness (CST) – Strong anatomical control through 12 months after a single injection of DURAVYU
o
Supplement Free – After a single injection of DURAVYU, approximately half of the treated study eyes were anti-VEGF supplement free, while 22% of the eyes in the aflibercept control arm were administered a supplement despite these control eyes receiving mandated bi-monthly injections through 12 months

The VERONA trial, a Phase 2 trial of DURAVYUTM in diabetic macular edema (DME) patients has completed enrollment with 27 patients assigned to one of two intravitreal doses of DURAVYU or an aflibercept control. To date, DURAVYU is well-tolerated with no reported drug-related ocular or systemic serious adverse events in this trial.

“We are very encouraged with the excellent safety and efficacy results from our Phase 2 DAVIO 2 trial. We believe there remains a significant opportunity for a safe and effective sustained delivery maintenance treatment in wet AMD, and we believe the DAVIO 2 trial data reinforces the potential for DURAVYU to maintain a majority of patients with active disease with no supplemental anti-VEGF therapy for six months or longer," said Ramiro Ribeiro, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer of EyePoint Pharmaceuticals. "We look forward to enrolling patients in the Phase 3 LUGANO clinical trial for DURAVYU in wet AMD later this year, and we believe that with these DAVIO 2 results and our real-world-based pivotal trial design in-hand, we are in an excellent position to advance this innovative therapy and improve the lives of patients suffering from serious retinal diseases."

About the Phase 2 DAVIO 2 and Phase 3 LUGANO and LUCIA Clinical Trials

DAVIO 2 is a randomized, controlled Phase 2 clinical trial of DURAVYUTM in previously treated patients with wet AMD. Originally designed to enroll 144 patients, the trial enrolled 160 patients in total due to strong investigator and patient interest. All enrolled patients were previously treated with a standard-of-care anti-VEGF therapy and were randomly assigned to one of two doses of DURAVYU (approximately 2 mg or 3 mg) or an aflibercept control. DURAVYU is delivered with a single intravitreal

injection in the physician's office, similar to current FDA approved anti-VEGF treatments. The primary non-inferiority efficacy endpoint is change in BCVA compared to the aflibercept control, approximately six-months after the DURAVYU injection. Secondary endpoints include safety, change in CST as measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT), the number of eyes that remain free of supplemental anti-VEGF injections, and number of aflibercept injections in each group. More information about the trial is available at clinicaltrials.gov (identifier: NCT05381948).

EyePoint anticipates that the first patient in the Phase 3 LUGANO clinical trial of DURAVYU for wet AMD will be dosed in 2H 2024 and the LUCIA trial to follow. The pivotal trials are expected to enroll approximately 400 patients with active wet AMD each, including both previously treated and treatment naïve patients, randomly assigned to 2.7mg of DURAVYU versus an on-label aflibercept control. DURAVYU is delivered with a single intravitreal injection in the physician's office, similar to current FDA approved anti-VEGF treatments. The primary efficacy endpoint of the LUGANO and LUCIA trials is non-inferiority to the aflibercept control, as measured by change in BCVA twelve-months after two DURAVYU injections that will be administered six-months apart. Secondary efficacy endpoints include change in CST as measured by OCT, time to first supplemental anti-VEGF, reduction in treatment burden and safety.

About DURAVYUTM

DURAVYUTM, previously known as EYP-1901, is being developed as a potential paradigm-altering treatment for patients suffering from VEGF-mediated retinal diseases. DURAVYU delivers vorolanib, a selective and patent-protected tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) formulated in a solid bioerodible insert using EyePoint’s proprietary sustained-release Durasert E technology. Vorolanib brings a new mechanistic approach to the treatment of VEGF-mediated retinal diseases as a pan-VEGF receptor inhibitor, inhibiting all VEGF receptors. Further, in an in-vivo model of retinal detachment, vorolanib demonstrated neuroprotection and may have antifibrotic benefits. DURAVYU is shipped and stored at ambient temperature and is administered with a standard intravitreal injection in the physician's office. DURAVYU is also immediately bioavailable with zero-order release kinetics release for approximately nine months.
