Graybug Vision CEO to Participate in OIS@ASRS Conference

REDWOOD CITY, CA--(Marketwired - Aug 8, 2017) - Graybug Vision, Inc., a venture-stage pharmaceutical company committed to developing potentially transformative therapies for ocular diseases including wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and glaucoma, announced that Jeffrey L. Cleland, PhD., President and CEO, will present a corporate overview and discuss plans for its first clinical trial of GB-102 in wet AMD at the OIS@ASRS one-day meeting on August 10 in Boston, MA.

Graybug Vision has two products in preclinical development for the treatment of ocular diseases. Its lead product, GB-102, is a novel injectable depot formulation containing a compound that blocks angiogenesis pathways through multiple receptors (e.g., VEGFR) for the potentially twice per year treatment of wet AMD. A Phase 1/2 study of GB-102 in wet AMD patients will be initiated in Q3 2017. In a preclinical, 6 month in vivo study, GB-102 demonstrated minimal side effects. A second-generation GB-102 product for potential once per year treatment of wet AMD is also in development. In addition, preclinical studies are ongoing to select one or more novel compounds for the twice per year treatment of glaucoma.

Details of the presentations are as follows:
