SUNNYVALE, Calif. — Icon Bioscience has completed enrollment for a phase 1 safety and efficacy trial of its lead product, IBI-20089, in patients with cystoid macular edema associated with retinal vein occlusion and postoperative cataract surgery, the company announced in a press release.

Based on Icon's Verisome drug delivery platform technology, IBI-20089 is designed to last up to 1 year with a single intravitreal injection for ophthalmic indications, allowing physicians to tailor the duration of effect for each individual patient.

"We are pleased to have reached this important milestone. Our preliminary data confirms the safety and efficacy of our lead product, IBI-20089, as well as the versatility and flexibility of our underlying Verisome drug delivery technology," Vernon G. Wong, MD, founder of Icon, said in the release.
