We are a leading late-stage biotechnology company advancing durable and disease-targeted therapeutics with potential to transform treatment paradigms and provide unprecedented benefits to patients. Our primary focus is advancing 4D-150 for wet age-related macular degeneration (“wet AMD”) and diabeti…
Our lead product candidate 4D-150 utilizes our proprietary R100 vector and a transgene encoding anti-VEGF biologics: aflibercept and an RNA interference (RNAi) approach targeting VEGF-C. The goal for our development and potential commercialization of 4D-150 is to transform the standard of care for l…
In March 2025, we initiated 4FRONT-1, our first Phase 3 trial of 4D-150 in wet AMD. Subsequently in February 2026, we announced enrollment completion within an approximately 11-month period, ahead of initial projections, with the clinical trial overenrolled and expected to exceed 500 patients random…
Additionally, 4FRONT-2, our second Phase 3 trial of 4D-150 in wet AMD, was initiated in June 2025. 4FRONT-2 is a global clinical trial and is enrolling both treatment-naïve and recently diagnosed, treatment-experienced patients. We expect to complete enrollment for 4FRONT-2 in the second half of 202…
Our other retina pipeline program is 4D-175, which utilizes the intravitreal R100 AAV vector and a codon-optimized transgene encoding a highly functional shortened form of human complement factor H (sCFH) for treatment of geographic atrophy. The sCFH payload is designed to restore normal complement …

We are a leading late-stage biotechnology company advancing durable and disease-targeted therapeutics with potential to transform treatment paradigms and provide unprecedented benefits to patients. Our core pipeline focus is advancing 4D-150 for the treatment of wet AMD and DME through late-stage st…
In January 2025, we implemented a strategic pipeline prioritization designed to prioritize the development of 4D-150 and 4D-710. Further, we will be seeking strategic alternatives, including potential partnering, for our other clinical stage product candidates: 4D-175 for the treatment of geographic…
Our lead product candidate 4D-150 utilizes our proprietary R100 vector and a transgene cassette encoding aflibercept and inhibitory miRNA targeting vascular endothelial growth factor-C (“VEGF-C”). 4D-150 was designed to become the first backbone therapy for the treatment of retinal vascular diseases…
In March 2025, we announced the first patients enrolled in 4FRONT-1, our North American Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating 4D-150 for the treatment of wet AMD. In October 2025, we announced that enrollment was exceeding initial projections with more than 200 patients enrolled, reflecting continued st…
Additionally, 4FRONT-2, our second Phase 3 trial of 4D-150 in wet AMD, was initiated in June 2025, ahead of schedule. 4FRONT-2 is a global clinical trial and has an identical design to 4FRONT-1, except for enrolling both treatment naïve and recently diagnosed, treatment-experienced patients. We expe…

which could require us to conduct additional clinical trials, or delay or prevent our product candidates from receiving regulatory approval, which would seriously harm our business.
If any of our product candidates successfully complete clinical trials, we generally plan to seek regulatory approval to market our product candidates in the United States, the EU, and in additional foreign countries where we believe there is a viable commercial opportunity. We have never commenced,…
support of potential approval of our product candidates. Even if regulatory approval is secured for any of our product candidates, the terms of such approval may limit the scope and use of our product candidate, which may also limit its commercial potential.
In addition, the FDA’s and other regulatory authorities’ policies with respect to clinical trials may change and additional government regulations may be enacted. For instance, the regulatory landscape related to clinical trials in the EU recently evolved. The EU Clinical Trials Regulation (“CTR”), …

Our ability to implement our business strategy is subject to numerous risks that you should be aware of before making an investment decision. The following is a summary of the principal risks that could seriously harm our business, all of which are more fully described below. This summary should be …
We are in the late stages of drug development for our lead program and have a limited operating history and no products approved for commercial sale, which may make it difficult to evaluate our current business and predict our future success and viability.
We have had recurring net losses, and we expect to continue to incur significant net losses for the foreseeable future.
We will require substantial additional capital to finance our operations. If we are unable to raise such capital when needed, or on acceptable terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce and/or eliminate one or more of our research and drug development programs or future commercialization efforts.
All of our product candidates are based on a novel AAV genetic medicine technology with which there is limited regulatory and clinical experience to date, which makes it difficult to predict the time and cost of product candidate development and subsequently obtaining regulatory approval. Further, t…

How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
