4DMT is a leading late‑stage biotechnology company advancing durable and disease‑targeted therapeutics with potential to transform treatment paradigms and provide unprecedented benefits to patients. The Company’s lead product candidate 4D‑150 is designed to be a backbone therapy forming the foundation of treatment of blinding retinal vascular diseases by providing multi‑year sustained delivery of anti‑VEGF (aflibercept and anti‑VEGF‑C) with a single, safe, intravitreal injection, which substantially reduces the treatment burden associated with current bolus injections. The Company’s lead indication for 4D‑150 is wet age‑related macular degeneration, which is currently in Phase 3 development, and second indication is diabetic macular edema.
