Business Wire
Gemini Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: GMTX), a clinical stage
precision medicine company developing innovative treatments for
genetically-defined age-related macular degeneration (AMD), today
announced that Raj Maturi, M.D., Adjunct Clinical Assistant
Professor of Ophthalmology at Indiana University School of Medicine
and an investigator in the ReGAtta study, will present a poster at
the 2021 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology
(AAO), which is being held virtually and in-person at the Ernest N.
Morial Convention Center, New Orleans, LA on November 12 – 15,
2021.
Details of the virtual poster at the AAO meeting include:
Title: Phase 2a Open Label Study of GEM103 in Genetically
Selected Geographic Atrophy (GA) Subjects
This poster (PO329) features newly available data that updates
the May 2021 initial data from the Company’s ongoing ReGAtta Phase
2a study of GEM103. In summary, GEM103 continues to be generally
well-tolerated:
- Through 510 intravitreal administrations of GEM 103, no ocular
serious adverse events related to study drug reported, no ocular
adverse events leading to study discontinuation, and no anti-GEM103
antibodies detected in plasma.
- 17 patients (27.4%) experienced mild to moderate ocular adverse
events in the study eye including two intraocular inflammation
adverse events. Inflammation was mild or moderate and the patients
recovered without recurrence and no study drug interruption. The
moderate case was unrelated to GEM103 and the patient had a history
of autoimmune disease.
- No increased risk observed for Choroidal Neovascularization
(CNV). Two adverse events of neovascular AMD in the study eye
occurred; in both cases, there were no definitive evidence of CNV
by independent reading center’s analysis of the retinal imaging.
These events were determined to be unrelated to GEM103 and there
was no impact on vision.
Information on Gemini Therapeutics, including GEM103 and initial
ReGAtta data, and the e-poster presented at AAO 2021, can be found
on Gemini Therapeutics’ website under the Investors & Media
section: Events and Presentations.
About Gemini Therapeutics
Gemini Therapeutics is a clinical stage precision medicine
company developing novel therapeutic compounds to treat genetically
defined age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Gemini’s lead
candidate, GEM103, is a recombinant form of human complement factor
H protein (CFH) and is designed to address both complement
hyperactivity and restore retinal health in patients with AMD.
GEM103 is currently in a Phase 2a trial in dry AMD patients with a
CFH risk variant and a Phase 1/2a study in patients with
neovascular age-related macular degeneration with or at risk for
macular atrophy. Gemini is also working to advance a potentiating
antibody for CFH, GEM307, towards clinical development for
treatment of systemic diseases. For more information, visit

hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future,
including those relating to the timing of and costs associated with
our restructuring, and the benefits we expect to receive from the
restructuring, the success, cost and timing of our product
development activities and clinical trials, whether such data, when
final, will be consistent with interim reported data, the timing to

Forward-looking statements include statements relating to our
management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or

“estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,”
“possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,”
“would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking
statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a

developments and their potential effects. There can be no assurance
that future developments affecting us will be those that we have

and uncertainties may in the future be amplified by the ongoing
COVID-19 pandemic and there may be additional risks that we
consider immaterial or which are unknown. It is not possible to

only speak as of the date they are made, and we do not undertake
any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements,
