    Journal:  A Small Molecule Inhibitor of VE-PTP Activates Tie2 in Schlemm's Canal Increasing Outflow Facility and Reducing Intraocular Pressure. (Pubmed Central) -  May 13, 2021   
    This is the first report of IOP lowering in humans with a Tie2 activator and functional demonstration of its action in remodeling SC to increase outflow facility and lower IOP in fully developed mice. Based on these studies, a phase II clinical trial is in progress to advance topical ocular AKB-9778 as a first in class, Tie2 activator for treatment for ocular hypertension and glaucoma.

    Predictive Value of ERG, OCT-A, and UWF-FA in Patients with Diabetic Retinopathy (Ballroom I) -  Mar 9, 2020 - Abstract #ARVO2020ARVO_4709;    
    Purpose To assess the value of electroretinography (ERG), OCT-angiography (OCT-A), and ultra-wide field fluorescein angiography (UWF-FA) parameters to predict progression of diabetic retinopathy in eyes with moderate to severe non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR).Methods In the TIME-2b trial 167 patients with NPDR were randomized to receive 48 weeks of treatment with AKB-9778 (a Tie2 activator) 15 mg once or twice daily, or placebo...Pre-treatment ERG and OCT-A parameters were better predictors of progression to DME/PDR than DRSS or UWF-FA over 48-weeks of follow-up. The combination of functional and structural measures was better than either alone.

    Review, Journal:  Tie-2/Angiopoietin pathway modulation as a therapeutic strategy for retinal disease. (Pubmed Central) -  Oct 27, 2019   
    AKB-9778 is a subcutaneously administered VE-PTP inhibitor that, when combined with monthly ranibizumab, reduced DME more effectively than ranibizumab monotherapy in a phase 2 study...AXT107, currently in the preclinical phase, promotes conversion of Ang-2 into a Tie-2 agonist and blocks signaling through VEGFR2 and other receptor tyrosine-kinases. Expert Opinion: Tie-2/Angiopoietin pathway modulators show promise to reduce treatment burden and improve visual outcomes in nAMD and DME, with potential to treat cases refractory to current treatment modalities.
