Age-Related Macular
Degeneration (AMD)
• The various treatment options for AMD depend on the type and stage of
AMD that is present.
• At this time, the only treatment for dry AMD is high dose antioxidant
vitamin therapy.
AMD – Non-Neovacular Therapy
• Education and follow up soft drusen and RPE hyperpigmentation are at
increased risk of developing GA and CNV.
• Macular laser photocoagulation can stimulate drusen resolution/reduction but
there is no associated changes in natural course of vision loss/CNV development.
• Inhibiting complement pathway using lampalizumab also are not effective in
preventing progression of the disease.
• One of the study called Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) was
initially conceived as a long-term multicenter, prospective study of the
clinical course of AMD.
• Micronutrients
• reduce risk of vision loss in nonexudative AMD
• 25% risk reduction for more- advanced stages of AMD 19% risk reduction
in rates of moderate vision loss (≥3 lines of visual acuity) at 5 years.
AMD – Neovascular Therapy
• Laser photocoagulation (“thermal laser”) argon/diode only in very rare
instances, have poor outcomes high recurrence rates
• Photodynamic therapy (“cold laser”) – FFA classic predominant. Slows
progression, does not prevent significant vision loss. No visual
improvement.
• Antiangiogenic therapies : anti VEGF
• Pegabtanib slowed vision loss, but there
are more effective agents.
• Ranibizumab binds and inhibits all
active isoforms of VEGF- A as well as
their active degradation products
• Treatment effects declined in participants
undergoing quarterly (every 3 months)
ranibizumab dosing as opposed to
monthly dosing. These results suggest
that quarterly treatment is suboptimal
• Aflibercept VEGF Trap) acts as VEGF receptor decoy. Administered
every 2 months showed similar efficacy to ranibizumab administered
monthly
• Bevacizumab treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. Used “off- label”
Was noninferior to ranibizumab therapy monthly but with 40- fold lower
costs.
• MARINA the result demonstrate thet vitreal Ranibizumab is associated
w/ clinically and statistically significant benefits w/ respect to VA in
patients w/ minimally classic/occult lesions w/ no classic CNV associated
w/ neovascular AMD over a 2-year period
• ANCHOR demonstrated efiicacy in patients w/ subfoveal,
predominantly classic CNV associated w/ neovascular AMD over 2-year
period
• HARBOR benefits of Ranibizumab for neovascular AMD outweighed
the risk of macular athrophy development over 24 months.
• CATT At the conclusion of the trial, the study demonstrated no
significant difference in visual acuity changes between the groups
randomized to Ranibizumab or Bevacizumab.
