Remission & chronicity

Spontaneous remission
Dry AMD: slow progressive loss; wet AMD progresses rapidly without treatment (50% of untreated reach legal blindness within 2 years); no spontaneous remission of either form
Best-intervention remission
Anti-VEGF (ranibizumab, aflibercept, bevacizumab): 30-40% vision gain in wet AMD (MARINA, ANCHOR trials); maintain vision in 90%+ vs 62% in placebo; high-dose vitamin supplementation (AREDS2): 25% reduction in progression from intermediate to advanced dry AMD; port delivery system (Susvimo): 6-monthly refillable implant equivalent to monthly injections
Gap size
Large — treatment burden (monthly injections) is the primary barrier to adequate treatment in wet AMD; dry AMD has no proven disease-modifying treatment until 2023
Primary barrier
access/biological
Monthly anti-VEGF injection burden leads to under-treatment in real-world settings; 50% of wet AMD patients in routine care lose vision compared to 5-10% in trials; geographic atrophy (dry AMD) had no approved treatment until pegcetacoplan (Syfovre, 2023)

Agents Found By Disease-Level Search

Searched directly from “Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)” via ClinicalTrials.gov interventions and Open Targets' disease→drug data — independent of the 12-gene target panel above. This surfaces agents whose mechanism doesn't route through a curated gene (combination therapies, standard-of-care drugs, targets outside the panel).

56 agents shown (approved or with trial evidence) — 49 not found by the gene-target search above.
