Transscleral delivery

Diseases associated with the tissues in the posterior segment of the eye can be effectively treated by administering therapeutic agents transsclerally to those tissues. Compositions, devices, and methods for delivering therapeutic agents so that they cross the sclera and reach these tissues include injecting solutions or suspensions adjacent to or within the sclera and implanting solid structures containing the therapeutic agent adjacent to or within the sclera. These methods may be used for administering rapamycin or related compounds to treat choroidal neovascularization associated with age-related macular degeneration.

Methods of preventing and treating Alzheimer's disease, age related macular degeneration and other diseases involving extra-cellular debris through the inhibition of the complement system

This invention proposes that the best therapeutic strategy for treating and / or preventing Alzheimer's disease (AD), age related macular degeneration (AMD) and other diseases that exhibit extra-cellular debris deposits, such as atherosclerosis, is the inhibition of the complement pathway. A model for the accumulation of extra-cellular debris through the activation of the complement pathway is presented, and the primary pathogenic role of the debris in the etiology of the disorders is explained. Previously identified complement inhibitors are identified as therapeutic agents for the treatment and / or prevention of AD, AMD and other diseases that exhibit extra-cellular debris deposits.

Methods for treating acromegaly and giantism with growth hormone antagonists

The present invention relates to antagonists of vertebrate growth hormones obtained by mutation of the third alpha helix of such proteins (especially bovine or human GHs). These mutants-have growth-inhibitory or other GH-antagonizing effects. These novel hormones may be administered exogenously to animals, or transgenic animals may be made that express the antagonist. Animals have been made which exhibited a reduced growth phenotype. The invention also describes methods of treating acromegaly, gigantism, cancer, diabetes, vascular eye diseases (diabetic retinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity, age-related macular degeneration, retinopathy of sickle-cell anemia, etc.) as well as nephropathy and other diseases, by administering an effective amount of a growth hormone antagonist. The invention also provides pharmaceutical formulations comprising one or more growth hormone antagonists.

Method to treat age-related macular degeneration

InactiveUS6942655B2Prevent and alleviate and delay onsetInhibit progressLaser surgeryDiagnosticsDisease areaCombined treatment
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) results in the formation of new blood vessels in the eye. The walls of these vessels leak fluid, which causes scarring in the surrounding tissue and results in reduced vision or loss of vision. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) alone has been used to treat AMD, but many retreatments are needed, which cause further damage to the already diseased area. Laser treatment to coagulate the fluid actually causes additional new vessels to form. However, the inventive method of treating patients with both PDT and scatter threshold laser coagulation therapy surprisingly either improved vision, or prevented further loss of vision. Moreover, the combined treatment eliminated the need for retreatment, and did not generate new vessel growth. Threshold laser coagulation and PDT may be administered within the same treatment session or either may be administered first and the other may be administered within ninety days.
