コディアック・サイエンシズは、眼疾患薬ゼンクダとタビラフスプ・アルファ・テドロマーが加齢黄斑変性症治療の主要評価項目でアイリーアと同等であることを示す新たな第3相データを報告し、リジェネロン・ファーマシューティカルズに新たな競争圧力をかけている。試験では、コディアックの候補薬を約6カ月ごとに投与した場合と、アイリーアの現在の8週間投与間隔とで、視力の転帰が同様であることが報告された。時価総額787億ドルの米バイオテクノロジー企業リジェネロンは、眼疾患領域の主要製品としてアイリーアに依存しており、同社の投資家向け説明ではすでに、アイリーアへの heavy な依存とブランド薬およびバイオシミラーの競争激化が、収益の持続可能性に対する主要リスクとして指摘されている。コディアックは2026年第4四半期にFDAへの申請に近づく計画であり、影響の最も明確な初期兆候はアイリーアとアイリーアHDの売上動向となる。網膜疾患領域の四半期ごとの数量と価格データは、眼の専門医が実際にリジェネロンから乗り換えるかどうかを示す。また、リジェネロンがどれだけ迅速に製品構成をデュピクセント、アイリーアHD、および腫瘍学や肥満といった新領域へ移行できるかにも注目が集まっている。
