Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration (Wet AMD): Understanding
Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration (Wet AMD): Overview
Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration (Wet AMD) is a significant form of age-related macular degeneration characterized by the growth of abnormal blood vessels beneath the retina. These vessels can leak fluid and blood, leading to scarring of the macula and rapid vision loss if left untreated. Wet AMD is a serious condition that affects a smaller percentage of individuals compared to the dry form but progresses more rapidly and can cause severe visual impairment. The key hallmark of Wet AMD is the development of pathologic choroidal neovascular membranes (CNVM) under the retina, which can result in central vision loss over a relatively short period. This form of AMD requires prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent irreversible vision damage.Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a multifactorial disease influenced by various risk factors. These include older age, elevated total serum cholesterol, micronutrient deficiency, smoking, family history, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and visible light exposure. Genetic predisposition is a significant factor, with at least 34 genetic loci and 52 gene variants associated with AMD. Inflammation is a key player in the pathogenesis of wet AMD, with polymorphisms of complement factor H being notable mutations linked to the disease. These mutations suggest the crucial role of complement activation in the development of wet AMD, highlighting the complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors in this vision-threatening condition.
Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration (Wet AMD) presents with various symptoms that can significantly impact vision. Individuals with Wet AMD may experience gaps or dark spots in their vision, especially noticeable in the morning, along with fading colors. Objects may appear distorted or change shape, and straight lines can appear bent or wavy. Bright light may become uncomfortable, and adapting to changes in light environments may be challenging. Reading difficulties, disappearing words, and distorted perception of sizes and colors are common. Additionally, individuals may struggle with glare, have trouble seeing fine details clearly, and may notice objects appearing differently to each eye. In severe cases, visual hallucinations in the blind spot at the center of the field of vision can occur, a phenomenon known as Charles Bonnet syndrome. These symptoms highlight the complexity and impact of Wet AMD on visual function and quality of life.
The primary treatments for Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration (Wet AMD) aim to slow disease progression and prevent further vision loss. Anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) therapy, which involves injections of medications like aflibercept, bevacizumab, brolucizumab, or ranibizumab directly into the eye, is the most common and effective treatment. These drugs block the abnormal blood vessel growth and leakage that characterize Wet AMD. Nutritional supplements containing vitamins and minerals, such as the AREDS2 formula, may also help slow the progression of dry AMD and prevent Wet AMD in the other eye. In some cases, photodynamic therapy using a light-activated drug or laser surgery may be used to seal leaking blood vessels. Regular eye exams and prompt treatment are crucial to manage Wet AMD and preserve vision.

It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration (Wet AMD) Emerging Drugs
RGX-314: REGENXBIO
RGX-314 is a one-time subretinal treatment that includes the NAV AAV8 vector containing a gene encoding for a monoclonal antibody fragment. The expressed protein is designed to neutralize vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) activity, modifying the pathway for the formation of new leaky blood vessels and retinal fluid accumulation. RGX-314 is being developed as a potentially one-time treatment for wet AMD, diabetic retinopathy, and other additional chronic retinal conditions treated with anti-VEGF.ATMOSPHERE, the first of two planned pivotal trials for the evaluation of subretinal delivery of RGX-314 in patients with wet AMD, is active and enrolling patients. In addition, the company is enrolling patients in AAVIATE, a Phase II trial for the treatment of wet AMD using suprachoroidal delivery of RGX-314. A Biologics License Application (BLA) is expected to be submitted to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2024 based on two pivotal trials, ASCENT and the ongoing ATMOSPHERE trial. ASCENT clinical trial conducted in partnership with AbbVie, is expected to enroll patients in the United States and Canada.
9MW 0211: Mabwell (Shanghai) Bioscience
9MW 0211 is a recombinant anti-VEGF humanized monoclonal antibody obtained based on rabbit monoclonal antibody and humanized transformation technology, which is a category 1 therapeutic biological product. It can specifically bind to the most active VEGF-A in the VEGF family, block its binding to receptors on the surface of endothelial cells, reduce vascular permeability and block the formation and development of new blood vessels, and reduce the leakage caused by new blood vessels, so as to achieve the purpose of treating eye diseases related to neovascularization such as neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration. The drug is currently being evaluated in Phase II/III clinical trial to treat patients with wet-AMD.SYL1801: Sylentis
SYL1801 is a chemically modified siRNA, engineered using Sylentis proprietary SirFinder, which inhibits the synthesis of Nrarp. It is administered as an eye drop solution to transcriptionally down-regulate the expression of Nrarp, a target different from those against which the usual anti-angiogenic therapies based on anti-VEGF agents are directed. The drug is currently being evaluated under Phase II clinical trial for the treatment of patients with wet AMD.OLX10212: OliX Pharmaceuticals
OLX10212 is a novel cell penetrating asymmetric small interference RNA being developed by OliX Pharmaceuticals in Phase I stage of development for the treatment of wet-MAD. OLX10212 targets inflammation pathways that play a key role in the development of geographic atrophy (GA) and neovascular AMD.Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration (Wet AMD): Therapeutic Assessment
