摘要
Purpose of review To review and compare the various therapeutic platforms, investigational drugs, and clinical trials targeting geographic atrophy in age-related macular degeneration. Recent findings Investigational agents based on hypothesized causes are being developed to treat geographic atrophy. These platforms are designed to attack the disease on several different fronts. Summary As knowledge of geographic atrophy pathophysiology advances, targeted pharmacotherapies may well be able to mitigate the retinal damage and vision loss associated with geographic atrophy.
