Viewpoints: Dual-blocking antibody against VEGF-A and angiopoietin-2 for treating vascular diseases of the eye

Faricimab, a bispecific antibody that targets the endothelial cell growth factors vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) and angiopoietin-2 (Angpt2), was recently approved for treating neovascular age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema. Here, Koh and Augustin review how mechanistic studies have translated into therapies, while Campochiaro evaluates their impact and value for clinical practice.
