Geographic Atrophy Understanding

Geographic Atrophy: Overview

Geographic atrophy (GA) is a chronic progressive degeneration of the macula, as part of late-stage age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The disease is characterized by localized sharply demarcated atrophy of outer retinal tissue, retinal pigment epithelium and choriocapillaris. It starts typically in the perifoveal region and expands to involve the fovea with time, leading to central scotomas and permanent loss of visual acuity. It is bilateral in most cases. Over 8 million people are affected worldwide with GA, approximately 20% of all individuals with AMD. The incidence of GA is expected to rise as the age-burden of developed countries is increasing. Several risk factors have been noted by several studies. The most pronounced risk factor is increasing age and family history of AMD. Smoking history increases the risk of GA significantly. Both active smokers, but also former smokers are at greater risk of developing geographic atrophy.

Geographic Atrophy - Pipeline Insight, 2024 report outlays comprehensive insights of present scenario and growth prospects across the indication. A detailed picture of the Geographic Atrophy pipeline landscape is provided which includes the disease overview and Geographic Atrophy treatment guidelines. The assessment part of the report embraces, in depth Geographic Atrophy commercial assessment and clinical assessment of the pipeline products under development.

Geographic Atrophy Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Geographic Atrophy report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Geographic Atrophy Emerging Drugs

IONIS-FB-LRx: Ionis PharmaceuticalsIONIS-FB-LRx is a ligand-conjugated (LICA) investigational antisense medicine designed to reduce the production of complement factor B (FB). Genetic association studies have shown that overaction of this cascade has been associated with the development of several complement-mediated diseases, including dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). FB, a key regulatory protein, is produced predominately in the liver and circulates at high levels throughout the vascular system, including in capillaries in the eye.

Zimura: IVERIC bioZimura (avacincaptad pegol) is an investigational drug product designed to target and inhibit the cleavage of complement protein C5 and the formation of its downstream fragments, C5a and C5b. By inhibiting the formation of these fragments, Zimura is believed to decrease or slow the chronic inflammation and cell death associated with the retinal aging process by decreasing the formation of membrane attack complex (MAC) and inflammasome activity, thereby potentially avoiding or slowing the degeneration of retinal pigment epithelial cells. This potential mechanism is the rationale for Zimura as a potential therapy for geographic atrophy secondary to age-related macular degeneration.
