Abstract
Two novel classes of medications are currently under extensive investigation for the treatment of dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Emixustat, an orally administered visual cycle inhibitor, and lampalizumab, an intravitreally administered monoclonal body directed against complement factor D, have shown promise in phase 2 clinical trials in the treatment of nonneovascular (dry) AMD. Lampalizumab is currently being evaluated in a large, multicenter, phase 3 clinical trial for dry AMD - geographic atrophy.Entities:
