ReNeuron’s clinical data presentation at last month’s American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) meeting was met with some stock price weakness. The first 8 out of a total of 22 patients in the Phase I/IIa study included a 180-day update on the three patients initially reported in February where startling vision gains were reported. The first 12 patients in the Phase I study portion will now be followed for safety only. Two recently-dosed patients experienced some procedure-related vision loss. The results to date remain encouraging, while reminding us how early on the learning curve this technology is.
