  2. Syfovre injection was introduced to the market for treating people with geographic atrophy. Though it enjoyed the warmth of fame during the debut, its side effects started hovering the manufacturer Apellis. Syfovre was meant to treat geographic atrophy (GA), which affects the central retina (macula), leading to vision loss that can't be corrected by surgery or spectacles. Approved by the FDA in February 2023, Syfovre injection was widely acclaimed as the only available drug for GA. Syfovre was proved to slow down the GA lesion growth in the clinical trials. However, it was proved to cause eye problems like retinal vasculitis, vision loss, wet AMD, vitreous floaters, inflammation and hypertension in the eyes and so on. The American Society of Retinal Specialists (ASRS) wrote a warning letter in July 2023 informing that they have identified around six patients with occlusive retinal vasculitis and a few with non-occlusive retinal vasculitis in 1 to 2 weeks of their first injection. They speculated that the syringes with silicon lubricants used to transfer the drug for commercial use sprinted the issues. A report published in the JAMA in October 2023 identified that around 29% of the 55 patients encountered floaters. After various incidents of silicon oil droplet issues are being confirmed, Apellis warned physicians to stop using the 19-gauge filter needles and asked to use the 18-gauge filter needles. Dr. William J. Johnson, of Wolfe Eye Clinic stated at the AAO annual meeting that they stopped treating patients with Syfovre after identifying the potential side effects. https://www.lezdotechmed.com

  3. An old man had silicone oil droplet symptoms and experienced floaters in eyes. Another woman developed uveitis soon after her first Syfovre administration. An old woman's uveitis became worse after her 2nd Syfovre injection. Despite treatments, she could only recover partial eye sight. Another person experienced vision loss many weeks after Syfovre injection. An old man lost vision following Syfovre injection, despite multiple treatments to regain the vision. Astellas Pharma Inc. got the FDA approval for Izervay (avacincaptad pegol in August 2023 for treating GA. Astellas thus becomes a potential competitor for Apellis in selling GA drugs. As of now, no victims have filed Syfovre lawsuits against Apellis. However, the emerging side effects may bring forth new lawsuits in the future.
