Faricimab is a bispecific monoclonal antibody designed to bind and inhibit both angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A). It is used for the treatment of neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME). Faricimab was approved by the US FDA in 2022 and is currently in clinical use.
Pharmacokinetics
PK parameters reported in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) receiving a 6 mg intravitreal dose.
