(Reuters) -German drugmaker Bayer on Friday won an endorsement by the European Medicines Agency to extend the intervals between shots of its anti-blindness treatment Eylea, giving it a potential edge over Roche’s rival treatment Vabysmo.
Bayer said in a statement the European Medicines Agency recommended that eye drug Eylea, at a high dose of 8 mg, can be injected at intervals of up to six months to treat wet age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular oedema.
