Conbercept is a soluble receptor decoy that binds specifically to VEGF-B, placental growth factor (PlGF), and various isoforms of VEGF-A. [1] [4] [15] Conbercept has a VEGF-R2 kinase insert domain receptor (KDR) Ig-like region 4 (KDRd4) which improves the three-dimensional structure and efficiency of dimer formation, thereby increasing the binding capacity of conbercept to VEGF.
Intravitreal injections are already commonly used for administering drugs like anti-VEGF agents, making the procedure familiar to clinicians and safer for patients. The eye's immune-privileged status reduces the likelihood of immune responses to the viral vector, increasing the therapy's safety profile.
A 2017 review update studying the effects of anti-VEGF drugs on diabetic macular edema found that while all three studied treatments have advantages over laser therapy, there was moderate evidence that aflibercept is significantly favored in all measured efficacy outcomes over ranibizumab and bevacizumab, after one year, longer term advantages ...
By May 2012, anti-VEGF treatment with Avastin has been accepted by Medicare, is quite reasonably priced, and effective. Lucentis has a similar but smaller molecular structure to Avastin, and is FDA-approved (2006) for treating MacD, yet remains more costly, as is the more recent (approved in 2011) aflibercept (Eylea). Tests on these treatments ...
Intravitreal injection is the method of administration of drugs into the eye by injection with a fine needle. The medication will be directly applied into the vitreous humor. [1] It is used to treat various eye diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, and infections inside the eye such as endophthalmitis. [1]
Ranibizumab, sold under the brand name Lucentis among others, is a monoclonal antibody fragment created from the same parent mouse antibody as bevacizumab.It is an anti-angiogenic [16] that is approved to treat the "wet" type of age-related macular degeneration (AMD, also ARMD), diabetic retinopathy, and macular edema due to branch retinal vein occlusion or central retinal vein occlusion.
Faricimab is a 150kDa-sized bispecific antibody whose molecular structure allows a high affinity bond to both vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) and Angiopoietin (Ang-2). [9] By blocking the action of these two growth factors, faricimab decreases migration and replication of endothelial cells allowing for stabilization of vascular ...
Ixoberogene soroparvovec (Ixo-vec, also known as ADVM-022), is a gene therapy developed by Adverum Biotechnologies for wet age-related macular degeneration. It is delivered via the viral vector AAV.7m8. [1] [2]
