There have been increasing incidences of rare ophthalmic diseases (e.g., retinitis pigmentosa, Stargardt disease, Leber congenital amaurosis) and prevalent diseases (e.g., age-related macular degeneration [AMD], geographic atrophy). While clinicians have used small molecules as the conventional therapeutic modality to manage these diseases, the urgent need for long-lasting, curative solutions led to the growing development of biologics.
The approval of monoclonal antibodies such as Luxturna for retinitis pigmentosa and the recent approval of Faricimab for AMD is pushing the development of novel biologics. Gene therapies with novel vectors; advanced antibodies such as bispecifics, trispecifics, multivalent antibodies, and fusion proteins; and stem cell therapies are also being developed for treating ophthalmic diseases. In addition, innovative delivery technologies such as advanced vectors as well as novel administration modes and delivery vehicles aid in developing effective therapeutics.
Frost & Sullivan finds that these changing circumstances and advances are boosting the growth of this space due to increased interest from non-profit organizations, R&D consortia, and tier 1 biopharma companies.
In this analysis, we identify different therapeutic strategies to address various rare and prevalent ophthalmic diseases, leading players working on different therapeutic modalities, and the clinical landscape of therapeutic candidates. Other relevant information include:
• Drivers and challenges in ophthalmology therapeutics development
• R&D trends emerging across different therapeutic modalities
• Private funding and partnerships
• Opportunities participants can explore to capitalize on and grow their industry presence
