Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/24/2015 -- Summary

Macular Edema is a condition where fluid accumulates on the macula, leading to vision impairment or in severe cases even vision loss. The three main types of ME are diabetic macular edema (DME), and macular edema following either a central or branch retinal vein occlusion (ME-CRVO and ME-BRVO). Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a painless eye condition which leads to gradual, irreversible, loss of central vision, and is one of the leading causes of blindness among people aged 50 and over in the developed world. Currently the ME and AMD markets are dominated by the use of anti-VEGF monotherapy, however, in recent years, corticosteroid implants have been reaching the ME market which could challenge the stronghold these drugs have in this sector. The AMD market will see the arrival of the first therapies to treat dry AMD, fulfilling a huge unmet need in the management of this retinal disease, and these first-in-class therapies will strongly drive the market growth over the next ten years. The launch of wet AMD adjunctive therapies will also see a significant change in the treatment of AMD patients and have a positive impact on the market growth.

Avastin is active against all isoforms of VEGF-A, and can prevent it from interacting with its receptors on the surface of endothelial cells, which leads to the inhibition of angiogenesis, a key feature of both wAMD and DME. Therefore, in addition to its approved therapeutic role as an oncology drug, Avastin has been used off-label for many years as an IVT anti-VEGF treatment for these retinal diseases, despite the launch of Lucentis (a mAb fragment derived from the same parent murine antibody as Avastin) in 2006 for wAMD, which was also developed by Genentech.
