View the APVRS symposium on "Advancing the management of nAMD and DME via Ang-2/VEGF-A dual inhibition"
Targeting the vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) pathway has been the main focus for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME) and neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD); however, additional pathways may help to address treatment challenges and optimise patient outcomes. In particular, the Angiopoietin (Ang)-Tie2 pathway shows promise as a novel therapeutic target in retinal diseases. In this symposium, 3 expert panellists provide evidence for the role of dual Ang-2/VEGF-A inhibition in nAMD and DME, outline clinical findings for dual Ang-2/VEGF-A inhibition, and review clinical and real-world cases.
