DelveInsight’s, “Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration Pipeline Insight 2023,” report provides comprehensive insights about 40+ companies and 40+ pipeline drugs in the Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration pipeline landscape. It covers the Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration pipeline drug profiles, including Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration clinical trial and nonclinical stage products. It also covers the therapeutics assessment by product type, stage, route of administration, and molecule type. It further highlights the inactive pipeline products in this space.
“For patients with advanced Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration, also called geographic atrophy (GA), there is currently no FDA-approved therapy. There are, however, several treatments that are currently in clinical trials. Apl-2, Zimura, Oracea, and others are the drug molecules recently being investigated for the treatment of late-stage dry AMD. Strong Dry Age-related Macular Degeneration pipeline is anticipated to augment the market.”

Recent Developmental Activities in the Dry Age-related Macular Degeneration Treatment Landscape
Dry Age-related Macular Degeneration Overview
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a degenerative disease of the center area of the ocular-posterior segment (the macula lutea) that causes slow degeneration in central vision and severe disability in affected persons. “Age-related” means that it mainly occurs with elderly adults, while “Macular” means that the macula part of the eye is damaged. AMD mostly affects people aged above 50, and it was first reported more than 80 years ago. Dry macular degeneration is a common eye disorder among people aged above 50 years. It causes blurred or reduced central vision due to thinning of the macula.

Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration Emerging Drugs Profile
ALK-001: Alkeus Pharmaceuticals
ALK-001 is once-a-day oral drug candidate currently being tested in Phase III clinical trial for the treatment of geographic atrophy (advanced form of AMD) and Stargardt disease. Toxic vitamin A aggregates called “”dimers”” are known to rapidly form due to a genetic defect in Stargardt, or to accumulate with age in the case of dry AMD. These toxic dimers have been implicated in the degeneration of the retina seen in Stargardt and AMD. Dimers form when two molecules of vitamin A are chemically combined. ALK-001 is form of vitamin A that has been chemically-modified to prevent its aggregation into dimers.
Zimura: Iveric bio
Zimura (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.
Visomitin: Mitotech
Visomitin is an eye drop formulation of SkQ1 that has been developed to target ophthalmic disorders like dry eye syndrome, uveitis and age-related macular degeneration. SkQ1 – is a purposely designed cardiolipin peroxidation inhibitor. SkQ1 was developed to deliver a highly active antioxidant plastoquinone into mitochondria. Once positioned in mitochondria, the molecule acts as a mitochondria-targeted ROS scavenger in general and as a very efficient cardiolipin protector in particular.
Risuteganib: Allegro Ophthalmics
Risuteganib is an investigational integrin-regulating therapy that is believed to reduce mitochondrial dysfunction involved in intermediate dry AMD. By targeting multiple pathways, risuteganib may help reduce the cellular burden of oxidative stress and restore retinal homeostasis. Two concurrent Phase 3 studies evaluating the use of intravitreal risuteganib to treat intermediate dry AMD are expected to begin within the next 12 months. A Phase II clinical trial evaluating risuteganib in Dry AMD has been completed by allegro Ophthalmics.
GT005: Gyroscope Therapeutics
Gyroscope’s lead investigational gene therapy, GT005, is a one-time therapy delivered under the retina. An overactive complement system has been implicated in the development of AMD. GT005 is designed to restore balance to an overactive complement system, a part of the immune system, by increasing production of the CFI protein. The CFI protein regulates the activity of the complement system. It is believed that increasing CFI production will dampen the systems over activity and reduce inflammation, with the goal of preserving a person’s eyesight. Gyroscope’s lead candidate, GT005, is currently in two Phase IIs for patients with geographic atrophy, an irreversible degeneration of retinal cells caused by dry-AMD.
GEM103: Gemini Therapeutics
Gemini’s lead program, GEM103, is a pioneering precision medicine approach, targeting trial enrichment with genetically-defined patients. GEM103 targets a genetically-defined subset of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) patients with complement dysregulation. GEM103 is believed to be the first ever recombinant native complement modulator, full-length recombinant complement factor H (rCFH) protein. When delivered by intravitreal injection, GEM103 has the potential to address unmet medical need in genetically-defined subsets of AMD patients by circumventing dysfunctional CFH loss-of-function variants and slowing the progression of their retinal disease. A Phase II clinical trial is currently being evaluated to treat patients with Dry AMD and other retinal disease.
