Biologics targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) have revolutionized the treatment of retinal diseases causing altered vascular permeability, such as diabetic macular oedema, retinal vein occlusion and the neovascular type of age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). These diseases are chro...

It binds to and acts as a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antagonist for the treatment of wet aged-related macular degeneration (AMD). Small interfering RNA was first described in 1998 by Fire and Mello, and they were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine a scant eight years ...
Recently, the use of the human amniotic membrane (hAM) has been extended to treat retinal disorders such as refractory macular holes, retinal breaks and dry and wet age-related macular degeneration. Not only the hAM has proved to be an excellent tool for repairing retinal tissue, but it has...
Roche is developing a new bispecific antibody, RG7716, for the treatment of wet AMD. Dugel described it as “the most elegantly designed drug for ophthalmology that I’ve seen.” In a 2016 study published...

These pathologies are associated with neovascularization in the posterior segment of the eye; in particular, the hallmark of wet AMD is the formation of new blood vessels arising from the choroidal microvascular bed and invading the sub-retinal space, while DR presents alterations preferentially at ...
in treating patients with the wet form of macular degeneration.24Lacking the Fc region, a Fab can be produced in an economic expression system (e.g., yeast) and prevent Fc-related adverse effects in vivo. Predictably, a Fab has a shorter half-life due to the lack of FcRn-mediated recycl...
