Yi Chen has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors surrounding EyePoint Pharmaceuticals’ promising developments and strategic advancements. The company has recently completed enrollment for its Phase 3 trials, LUGANO and LUCIA, which focus on the DURAVYU treatment for wet AMD. These trials are significant as they could position DURAVYU as the first long-acting TKI for wet AMD to potentially file for an NDA and enter the market.
Additionally, EyePoint is advancing DURAVYU into a Phase 3 program for diabetic macular edema (DME), with patient dosing expected to start in the first quarter of 2026. The drug’s potential to address both VEGF-mediated vascular leakage and IL-6 mediated inflammatory drivers of DME adds to its appeal. These strategic moves, along with management’s expectations for a timely U.S. launch if approved, underpin the Buy rating and the $23 price target set by Yi Chen.
According to TipRanks, Chen is an analyst with an average return of -4.3% and a 41.32% success rate. Chen covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as RegenXBio, VolitionRX, and Alpha Tau Medical Ltd.
