The application, for NT-501, for the treatment of Macular Telangiectasia type 2 (MacTel), has been submitted for review by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Neurotech will continue to provide updates as they are available.

If approved, NT-501, will be the only approved treatment for MacTel in the United States. We will be working proactively to help ensure access to patients.

The price of NT-501 has not yet been determined; it represents a novel potential therapy, and we are in discussions with insurance companies and other stakeholders regarding the value of this product to patient care. Regardless of the price of the product, we are creating a robust patient service program to help ensure that individuals who are prescribed the product will have access to it.

NT-501 is intended for individuals who have been diagnosed with MacTel. The product label will determine eligibility. Decisions about who is eligible for our product will be up to clinicians, individual patients, and insurers. All products approved by the FDA have a recommended population for whom the drug / device is intended. We encourage anyone who is interested in learning more about NT-501 to speak to their physician, as all healthcare decisions should be made by you and your health care team.

We are not able to provide you with individual medical advice. We recommend that you speak to your physician about your interest in NT-501.

For past or current trial participants, we recommend that you speak with your physician at the clinical trial site.
