70+ Key Companies Advancing in Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration Clinical Trial Therapeutic Space | DelveInsight

Dry macular degeneration is a common eye disorder among people aged above 50 years. It causes blurred or reduced central vision due to thinning of the macula. The macula is the part of the retina responsible for clear vision in a direct line of sight. The pharmaceutical industry is increasingly focused on developing pathway-based therapies for dry AMD, with promising treatments like ALK-001 and LBS-008 in trials, though a combination approach may be needed to fully inhibit disease progression.

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- DelveInsight's 'Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration Pipeline Insight 2025' report provides comprehensive global coverage of pipeline dry AMD therapies in various stages of clinical development, major pharmaceutical companies are working to advance the pipeline space and future growth potential of the dry AMD pipeline domain.

• In December 2024, Ocugen, Inc. announced that the Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) for the OCU410 ArMaDa clinical trial recently convened and approved continuation of the second phase of the Phase 1/2 study. OCU410 (AAV5-hRORA) is a novel modifier gene therapy candidate being developed for geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to dry age-related macular degeneration (dAMD).
• In November 2024, Ocugen, Inc. announced positive preliminary efficacy and safety data from the Phase I dose-escalation portion of the Phase 1/2 OCU410 ArMaDa clinical trial for geographic atrophy (GA), secondary to dry age-related macular degeneration (dAMD). Key findings include: no drug-related serious adverse events, reduced lesion growth, preservation of retinal tissue, and most importantly there was a positive effect on the functional visual measure of low luminance visual acuity (LLVA).
• In October 2024, Eyestem Research, focused on creating scalable cell therapies for incurable diseases, had announced a positive outcome of the Drug Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) review for the first cohort of its Phase one trial to treat Geographic Atrophy secondary to Dry Age-related Macular Degeneration, marking a milestone for Indian science and medical research.
• In September 2024, Stealth BioTherapeutics Inc. announced the presentation of new bevemipretide (SBT-272) preclinical data demonstrating topical ocular delivery to the retina with protective effects observed in models of AMD. 
• In June 2024, Stealth BioTherapeutics Inc. announced that it has enrolled and dosed its first patient in the ReNEW trial as part of its Phase III clinical program for elamipretide in patients with dry age-related macular degeneration (dry AMD). The program consists of the two Phase III trials, ReNEW and ReGAIN. Both trials will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of daily subcutaneous injections of elamipretide in participants with dry AMD. 
• In April 2024,   Eyestem received approval from India's Central Drugs Standards Control Organisation (CDSCO) to commence human trials for Eyecyte RPE, a potential treatment for geographic atrophy arising from dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration Overview

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the top four causes of blindness in older adults and the leading cause of irreversible blindness in developed countries. Around 170 million people globally are affected by AMD, making it the third most common cause of vision loss worldwide. Dry AMD typically progresses slowly, but wet AMD can cause severe visual impairment within days or weeks of onset. In the early stages of AMD, there are no noticeable symptoms, though an ophthalmologist can detect drusen before symptoms arise. Some individuals experience slight vision changes during the intermediate stage, but many remain symptom-free. Others may notice dark or grey spots in their central vision or have difficulty transitioning from bright to dim lighting.

Clinicians currently use various imaging techniques to monitor changes in the retina, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), and choroid, including fundus exams, color fundus photography, fundus autofluorescence (FAF), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and infrared reflectance imaging. Over the past two decades, OCT has significantly advanced the early detection, monitoring, and treatment assessment of dry AMD. Modern spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT) systems provide detailed cross-sectional and volumetric views of the retina, enabling clinicians to visualize, measure, and monitor retinal layers, RPE, hyperreflective foci, geographic atrophy (GA), and drusen. While SD-OCT remains the standard of care, emerging technologies like polarization-sensitive OCT (PS-OCT), which offers tissue-selective imaging, may revolutionize AMD research and clinical practices.

Currently, no approved treatments exist for dry AMD. Management involves regular monitoring, timely detection of visual deterioration, appropriate rehabilitation, and early identification of choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Research is underway to explore therapeutic strategies to prevent AMD, slow its progression, or restore vision. Potential treatments include lifestyle and behavioral changes, age-related eye disease study (AREDS) supplements, visual cycle modulators, anti-inflammatory agents, complement inhibitors, gene therapy, cell-based therapies, and approaches to reduce toxic by-products.
