Syfovre Injection Linked to Vision Loss & Severe Eye Inflammation | 2023
Syfovre was developed by Apellis Pharmaceuticals to treat geographic atrophy, an advanced form of late stage dry age-related macular degeneration.
While the injections were approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in February 2023, a safety committee advising the American Society of Retinal Specialists (ASRS) sounded the alarm regarding dangerous side effects of Syfovre in July 2023.
The group found six cases of patients experiencing occlusive retinal vasculitis just a few days after their first injection of Syfovre. Occlusive retinal vasculitis is a type of inflammation that hinders blood flow to the retina and may result in severe vision loss.
The cause of these side effects is currently unclear, as Apellis Pharmaceuticals has not identified any issues linked to a specific batch of Syfovre.
