    From the blog I had linked to
    "Further and even more interestingly the drug makers that create the VEGF-A inhibitors are running out of their patent protection (see below). The other main drug used to treat wAMD and DME is Avastin (Bevacizumab, by Roche) which is used off-label. But these drugs have an efficacy and durability issue that seems to be lessened in combination with OPT-302.

    Even though it will be a combo therapy, pharma companies want that patented stream of money. As the patents are ending on Eylea and Lucentis. If they get the combo patent that is a licence to print money for 10-12ish years.
