TREATMENT OF AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION AND OTHER EYE DISEASES WITH ONE OR MORE THERAPEUTIC AGENTS

摘要

The present disclosure provides therapeutic agents for the treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and other eye disorders. One or more therapeutic agents can be used to treat any stages (including the early, intermediate and advance stages) of AMD, and any phenotypes of AMD, including geographic atrophy (including non-central GA and central GA) and neovascularization (including types 1, 2 and 3 NV). In certain embodiments, an anti-dyslipidemic agent (e.g., an apolipoprotein mimetic and/or a statin) is used alone to treat or slow the progression of atrophic AMD (including early AMD and intermediate AMD), and/or to prevent or delay the onset of AMD, advanced AMD and/or neovascular AMD. In further embodiments, two or more therapeutic agents (e.g., any combinations of an anti-dyslipidemic agent, an antioxidant, an anti-inflammatory agent, a complement inhibitor, a neuroprotector and an anti-angiogenic agent) that target multiple underlying factors of AMD (e.g., formation of lipid-rich deposits, oxidative stress, local inflammation, cell death and neovascularization) are used to treat or slow the progression of atrophic AMD (including non-central GA and central GA) or neovascular AMD (including types 1, 2 and 3 NV), and/or to prevent or delay the onset of AMD, advanced AMD and/or neovascular AMD.
