Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) antibodies have been the pillar of therapy for patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME) for nearly two decades. Unfortunately, anti-VEGF therapy requires frequent, repeated intravitreal injections that pose significant burdens for patients, their caregivers, and the healthcare system. Additionally, anti-VEGF therapy is completely ineffective for patient with atrophic age-related macular degeneration. Angiopoietin (Ang) pathways have recently shown the potential to provide a new treatment target that can reduce inflammation in neovascular AMD and DME. Likewise, the cleavage of complement protein C5 is being targeted for treatment options in geographic atrophy. In this session, we will focus on current and emerging therapies for AMD and DME.
