  • Publication number: 20240285800
    Abstract: The invention relates to retinal disorders, and to genetic constructs and recombinant vectors comprising such constructs, and their use in gene therapy methods for treating, preventing or ameliorating a wide range of retinal disorders. The constructs and vectors are particularly useful for treating wet age-related macular degeneration (wet-AMD), i.e., neovascular age related macular degeneration. The invention extends to the use of the constructs and vectors for reducing vascular leakage and retinal cell damage. The invention also extends to pharmaceutical compositions per se, and their use in treating, preventing or ameliorating retinal disorders, and for reducing vascular leakage and retinal cell damage.

  • Publication number: 20240279680
    Abstract: The invention relates to retinal disorders, and to genetic constructs and recombinant vectors comprising such constructs, and their use in gene therapy methods for treating, preventing or ameliorating a wide range of retinal disorders. The constructs and vectors are particularly useful for treating geographic atrophy (GA) and dry age-related macular degeneration (dry-AMD). The invention extends to the use of the constructs and vectors for reducing complement activation and retinal cell damage and loss. The invention also extends to pharmaceutical compositions per se, and their use in treating, preventing or ameliorating retinal disorders, and reducing complement activation and retinal cell damage and loss.
