- Abstract:
The article evaluates the new innovative treatments for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) including approaches that inhibit existing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). According to Dr. Jason S. Slakter, ophthalmology professor in New York University of Medicine, New York, all treatments including sirolimus directed toward targetting VEGF in the extracellular space show positive effects. Meanwhile, treatments such as PF-4523655, volociximab, and pazopanib are also presented.
