About Macular Degeneration Clinical Trials in Boston
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of severe vision loss in Americans over 50, affecting over 11 million people. Wet (neovascular) AMD involves abnormal blood vessel growth under the retina, while dry AMD involves gradual thinning of the macula and accumulation of drusen deposits. Current treatment for wet AMD relies on anti-VEGF injections (ranibizumab, aflibercept, faricimab), with newer high-dose and extended-interval formulations reducing treatment burden. For geographic atrophy (advanced dry AMD), complement inhibitors like pegcetacoplan (Syfovre) represent the first approved treatments. Clinical trials are testing gene therapies, implantable drug delivery systems, stem cell therapies, and novel targets beyond VEGF for both wet and dry AMD.
