Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a degenerative and progressive ocular disease that diminishes central vision acuity as a result of photoreceptor degeneration in the macula. Although its early stage is generally asymptomatic, late AMD is the leading cause of irreparable vision loss in the United States. Interviewed U.S. experts indicate substantial unmet needs in current AMD treatment. With only a few approved therapies, this market presents a big opportunity for drug developers.

Questions Answered in This Report:

  • Late or advanced AMD is the leading cause of blindness in people aged 55 or older in the United States and other developed countries. Are there any issues with the diagnosis of AMD? Are patients with early AMD diagnosed easily? Can physicians predict the occurrence of advanced AMD (dry or wet)? Are there any genetic tests available that can assess the risk of a patient developing the late form of the disease?
  • Early intervention in AMD is challenging because of the low disease awareness among patients with early AMD and the lack of therapies for dry AMD. Are there any emerging treatments for treating dry AMD in the U.S. market? Which agents are most promising and why? What is the potential success of these agents according to interviewed experts?
  • Avastin and Lucentis are often prescribed by interviewed experts for treating wet AMD. What is the opinion of experts regarding these therapies? Are physicians satisfied with these agents? What areas of unmet needs do interviewed experts identify? In the opinion of the interviewed experts, how crucial are these unmet needs?
