Dry and Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration – Landscape & Forecast – Disease Landscape & Forecast

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a degenerative and progressive ocular disease that diminishes central visual acuity as a result of photoreceptor degeneration in the macula. The wet AMD market has long been dominated by three anti-vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs), including Roche / Genentech / Chugai’s off-label compounded Avastin, Roche / Genentech / Novartis’s Lucentis, and Regeneron / Bayer HealthCare / Santen’s Eylea. We expect newer entrants to the market, Roche / Chugai’s Vabysmo (faricimab) and Regeneron / Bayer’s Eylea HD to continue to experience strong uptake, driven mostly by their advantageous dosing regimen. Competition will increase in the wet AMD market with the launch of emerging therapies including aflibercept biosimilars and Regenxbio / AbbVie’s ABBV-RGX-314, promising lower cost and longer dosing intervals, respectively. By contrast, the management of geographic atrophy (GA) is limited to Apellis’s Syfovre and Astellas’s Izervay, which launched in the United States in 2023.

Questions answered

  • How will the wet AMD treatment algorithm change as new products launch? To what extent will they capitalize on the need for therapies with longer dosing intervals?
  • How will market dynamics be impacted by the launch of biosimilars of Eylea?
  • How receptive are retinal specialists to novel gene therapy approaches and to emerging therapies for wet AMD and GA?
  • What is U.S. retinal specialists’ first impression of the first treatments for GA?
  • What improvements would late-phase wet AMD therapies need to demonstrate to compete effectively in an increasingly fragmented market?
