Aviceda Therapeutics has launched biotech financing in 2025 with a $207.5m raise to advance its lead drug for geographic atrophy, a sight-threatening disease, into pivotal trials.
The Series C round, co-led by Omega Funds and TCGX, will support the ongoing phase 2/3 SIGLEC trial of AVD-104 for geographic atrophy linked to age-related macular degeneration.
The trial is expected to deliver results in the second half of the year, with funding also allocated to a phase 3 programme if progress stays on track.
