Why target this patient population instead of treatment naïve or patients with controlled disease? Patients have a high need for effective therapy with lower treatment burden Minimizes the risk of false signals of biologic effect Facilitates assessment for biological effect in a difficult-to-treat nAMD patient population Facilitates assessment of an appropriate dose, not only based on both safety but also on biologic effect Represents a significant number of patients in clinical practice, with >30% sub-responders De-risks future clinical studies Desired outcomes in this heavily treated patient population: Demonstrate safety and tolerability of CLS-AX Maintain stability of visual acuity and central subfield thickness with lower treatment burden OASIS Enrolled Heavily anti-VEGF Treatment-Experienced Wet AMD Patients Patients were sub-responders with active disease at screening confirmed by reading center Enrolling difficult to treat anti-VEGF sub-responders allowed observation of possible signs of biologic effect while minimizing false signals Core et at.

Dr. Khanani founded the clinical research department at Sierra Eye Associates, which is now one of the leading clinical research centers in the country. He has served as a principal investigator for over 100 clinical trials and has been a top enroller in the country for multiple Phase 1-3 trials. In addition, Dr Khanani has been the first one to perform surgical procedures in multiple surgical clinical trials dealing with sustained delivery and gene therapy. He has over 75 scientific publications. Dr. Khanani also serves as a member of national and international clinical trial steering committees as well as scientific advisory boards with the goal of bringing new treatment options for patients with retinal diseases. Dr. Khanani is frequently invited as a guest speaker at national and international meetings. Dr. Khanani is an elected member of the Macula Society, Retina Society and has received numerous awards of distinction. In 2019, he received the Nevada Business Magazine Healthcare Heroes Physician of the Year award for his continued dedication to the field of ophthalmology. He has received the Senior Honor Award from the American Society of Retina Specialists (ASRS) and was also awarded the prestigious ASRS Presidents’ Young Investigator Award in 2021.
