Abstract

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of permanent visual loss in persons over 65 years of age in the developed countries. Currently, intravitreal vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors are the mainstay of the treatment for patients with wet AMD. Despite significant improvements in the visual acuity since beginning of these therapies, challenges in the treatment of wet AMD are still present. Therefore, there are ongoing researches such as sustained release anti-VEGF therapy, novel generation anti-VEGF agents, viral vectors to modify genetic transcription, and combination therapies. In this review, it is aimed to discuss these emerging therapies

Özet

Yaşa bağlı maküla dejenerasyonu (YBMD) gelişmiş ülkelerdeki 65 yaş üzeri grupta kalıcı görme kaybının en sık nedenidir. Günümüzde intravitreal vasküler endotelyal büyüme faktörü (VEGF) inhibitörleri, yaş tip YBMD olgularında tedavinin temel dayanağını oluşturur. VEGF inhibitörlerinden bu yana yaş tip YBMD olgularında görme keskinliğinde belirgin iyileşmeler olmasına rağmen, bu tedavi ile karşılaşılan zorluklar devam etmektedir. Bu yüzden, sürekli salınımlı antiVEGF ilaçlar, diğer yeni jenerasyon anti-VEGF ajanlar, genetik transkripsiyonu değiştiren viral vektörler ve kombinasyon tedavileri gibi üzerinde çalışılan pek çok araştırmalar bulunmaktadır. Bu derlemede yeni geliştirilmekte olan bu tedavilerin tartışılması amaçlanmıştır
