Macular degeneration is an eye disease characterised by progressive damage to the macula leading to a loss of central vision. There are two types of macular degeneration, dry and wet or exudative. The prevalence of the latter in Spain is 1.9% in people aged 65 and over. Among the subtypes of macular neovascularisation (MNV), type 2 is rare (9%), with the majority being mixed type 1 and 2 cases (13.5%). SHRM is present in about 77% of eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD).<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>On May 27, 2026- AbbVie<\/em><\/strong> announced a Phase 3b Study to Assess the Injection Burden, Efficacy, Safety, and Long-Term Preservation of Visual Acuity of Surabgene Lomparvovec (ABBV-RGX-314) in a Real-World Context in Subjects With Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration (nAMD)<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>On May 20, 2026- Stealth BioTherapeutics Inc.<\/em><\/strong> conducted a clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of elamipretide in subjects with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The main questions it aims to answer are: what is the rate of change in the macular area of photoreceptor loss in subjects who receive a daily dose of elamipretide compared with those who receive a look-alike substance that contains no active drug, and what is the safety and tolerability of elamipretide daily subcutaneous injections. Participants will receive either once daily subcutaneous doses of 40mg elamipretide or placebo and the two treatment groups will be compared.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>On May 14, 2026- Boehringer Ingelheim<\/em><\/strong> initiated a study is open to people 50 years or older with an eye condition called geographic atrophy. The purpose of this study is to compare a medicine called BI 771716 with a medicine called pegcetacoplan. BI 771716 is being developed to treat people with geographic atrophy.

The Age-Related Macular Degeneration Pipeline Report also highlights the unmet needs with respect to the Age-Related Macular Degeneration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Age-Related Macular Degeneration Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive disorder of the macula and a leading cause of central vision loss in the elderly population. It primarily affects the outer retina, including photoreceptors and the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), with early accumulation of drusen indicating impaired cellular waste clearance. As the disease advances, chronic inflammation, reduced choroidal blood flow, and RPE dysfunction contribute to photoreceptor degeneration and vision decline. Clinically, AMD progresses from early to late stages, manifesting as the slower dry form (geographic atrophy) or the more aggressive wet (neovascular) form driven by abnormal blood vessel growth. Patients typically experience central visual disturbances such as blurriness, distortion, or scotomas, while peripheral vision remains preserved, with symptoms often worsening rapidly in wet AMD due to fluid leakage or hemorrhage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Age-Related Macular Degeneration Emerging Drugs Profile<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li><strong>Elamipretide: Stealth BioTherapeutics<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Elamipretide is a mitochondria-targeted peptide developed to enhance cellular energy generation and limit oxidative stress, both of which play a significant role in age-related macular degeneration. It acts by stabilizing cardiolipin within the inner mitochondrial membrane, thereby supporting the function of photoreceptors and retinal pigment epithelium cells. In AMD, especially the dry form, this approach is intended to slow retinal deterioration and help maintain visual function over time. The therapy is currently under evaluation in a Phase III clinical trial for patients with age-related macular degeneration.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li><strong>4D-150: 4D Molecular Therapeutics<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">4D-150 is an investigational intravitreal gene therapy being developed for neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It uses a customized AAV vector to deliver genes encoding anti-VEGF biologics, enabling sustained intraocular production of therapeutic proteins. By providing long-term suppression of VEGF, it aims to reduce treatment burden and control retinal fluid and neovascularization. The therapy is currently in Phase III stage of its clinical development.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li><strong>MK-8748: Merck<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">MK-8748 (Tiespectus) is an investigational bispecific antibody being developed for neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It simultaneously activates the Tie2 pathway and inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), targeting vascular instability and leakage in the retina. This dual mechanism aims to stabilize retinal blood vessels, reduce fluid accumulation, and preserve visual function. The therapy is currently being evaluated in a pivotal Phase IIb\/III clinical trial (MALBEC) for patients with wet AMD.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li><strong>SAR402663: Sanofi<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">SAR402663 is an investigational one-time intravitreal gene therapy being developed for neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It delivers genetic material encoding soluble FLT01, which inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) to suppress abnormal blood vessel growth. By reducing vascular leakage and retinal damage, it aims to preserve vision and address the underlying disease pathology. The therapy is currently in Phase II clinical evaluation and has received fast track designation from the FDA.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li><strong>Xelafaslatide: ONL Therapeutics<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Xelafaslatide is an investigational first-in-class small molecule Fas inhibitor being developed for geographic atrophy associated with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It works by blocking Fas-mediated cell death pathways, thereby protecting retinal cells such as photoreceptors from degeneration. By preserving retinal structure, it aims to slow disease progression and maintain visual function. The therapy is currently being evaluated in a global Phase II clinical trial for patients with dry AMD-related geographic atrophy.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li><strong>HG202: HuidaGene Therapeutics<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">HG202 is an investigational CRISPR\/Cas13-based RNA-editing therapy being developed for neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It utilizes a single AAV vector to deliver RNA-editing machinery that selectively knocks down VEGF-A mRNA, a key driver of abnormal blood vessel growth. By reducing VEGF expression, it aims to inhibit choroidal neovascularization and provide a durable, potentially one-time treatment option. The therapy is currently in early Phase I clinical evaluation following FDA IND clearance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>If you&rsquo;re tracking ongoing Age-Related Macular Degeneration Clinical trials, this press release is a must-read @ <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.delveinsight.com\/sample-request\/age-related-macular-degeneration-amd-pipeline-insight?utm_source=abnewswire&amp;utm_medium=pressrelease&amp;utm_campaign=ypr\">Age-Related Macular Degeneration Treatment Drugs<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Age-Related Macular Degeneration Companies<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong><em>Stealth BioTherapeutics, Sanofi, Merck, HuidaGene Therapeutics, ONL Therapeutics, Molecular Therapeutics, Evergreen Therapeutics, Caregen Co.
