Marketed Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration Drugs: The marketed DryAMD landscape remains relatively nascent but is rapidly evolving following the introduction of novel therapies for Geographic Atrophy. The launch of these products has validated the commercial potential of the market and paved the way for emerging therapies with differentiated mechanisms of action and improved efficacy profiles.

  • IZERVAY (Avacincaptad pegol): Astellas Pharma/Iveric Bio

Avacincaptad pegol (IZERVAY) is a novel ophthalmic therapy developed by Iveric Bio and later commercialized under Astellas Pharma following its acquisition of Iveric Bio in 2023. It is an RNA aptamer-based drug designed for the treatment of geographic atrophy secondary to AMD. The drug received US FDA approval in August 2023, marking a significant milestone as one of the first disease-modifying therapies targeting dry AMD progression. Avacincaptad pegol is administered as a monthly intravitreal injection into the affected eye. Its approval was based on Phase III trials (GATHER1 and GATHER2), which demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in the rate of geographic atrophy lesion growth compared with sham treatment.

  • SYFOVRE (Pegcetacoplan): Apellis Pharmaceuticals

Pegcetacoplan (SYFOVRE) is a first-in-class complement inhibitor approved for the treatment of geographic atrophy secondary to AMD. It targets complement component C3, a central protein in the complement cascade. Administered via intravitreal injection either monthly or every other month, SYFOVRE demonstrated clinically meaningful reductions in GA lesion growth in Phase III (OAKS and DERBY) trials, with increasing efficacy observed over time. While it does not restore lost vision, it significantly slows disease progression.

Emerging Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration Drugs

  • Tinlarebant (LBS-008): Belite Bio

Tinlarebant is a novel oral therapy intended to reduce the accumulation of vitamin A-based toxins (known as bisretinoids) that contribute to disease progression in geographic atrophy. Bisretinoids are by-products of the visual cycle, which is dependent on the supply of vitamin A (retinol) to the eye. Tinlarebant works by reducing and maintaining levels of serum retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4), the sole carrier protein for retinol transport from the liver to the eye. The therapy is currently in Phase III clinical development.

  • Gildeuretinol acetate (ALK-001): Alkeus Pharmaceuticals

Oral gildeuretinol acetate (ALK-001) is a new molecular entity designed to reduce the dimerization of vitamin A without modulating the visual cycle. Gildeuretinol is being evaluated in clinical trials for the treatment of Stargardt disease and has been studied for geographic atrophy secondary to age-related macular degeneration. The therapy is currently in Phase III clinical development.

Latest highlights from dAMD market:

  • On March 24, 2026, Ocugen reported topline 12-month results from the Phase II ArMaDa trial, demonstrating a statistically significant 31% reduction in GA lesion growth at the dose selected for Phase III development. The study also showed photoreceptor preservation and a favorable safety profile, supporting advancement into a registrational program. Ocugen announced plans to initiate a Phase III trial in Q3 2026, positioning OCU410 among the most advanced late-stage gene therapies for Geographic Atrophy. The update further strengthened its commercial potential and competitive positioning against SYFOVRE and IZERVAY.

  • On January 28, 2026, Eyestem Research announced that it had received CDSCO approval to initiate a Phase II randomized controlled trial of Eyecyte-RPE in patients with geographic atrophy associated with Dry AMD. The retinal pigment epithelium cell therapy is designed to restore retinal function through regenerative medicine, offering a differentiated approach from complement inhibitors and gene therapies. The regulatory milestone highlights increasing industry interest in cell-based therapies and expands the competitive landscape of the Geographic Atrophy market.

  • In December 2025, Alkeus Pharmaceuticals announced that data from its clinical studies of investigational oral gildeuretinol for the treatment of geographic atrophy will be presented at the 13th International FLORetina ICOOR Congress at the Fortezza de Basso in Florence, Italy.

  • In July 2025, Alkeus Pharmaceuticals announced that data from its clinical studies of investigational oral gildeuretinol for the treatment of geographic atrophy secondary to AMD (SAGA) will be presented during the American Society of Retina Specialists (ASRS) 43rd Annual Scientific Meeting.

  • In February 2025, Alkeus Pharmaceuticals announced that results from its clinical studies of investigational oral gildeuretinol for the treatment of geographic atrophy secondary to AMD (SAGA) will be presented at the 48th Annual Meeting of the Macula Society.

Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration Market Outlook

The treatment landscape for Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration has historically been limited to supportive care, primarily involving nutritional supplementation (e.g., AREDS formulations), lifestyle modifications, and visual aids to slow disease progression and manage symptoms. The approved therapies – Avacincaptad pegol (IZERVAY) and Pegcetacoplan (SYFOVRE) – both target the complement cascade and represent a paradigm shift toward mechanism-based treatment by slowing the progression of geographic atrophy, although they do not restore lost vision and require regular intravitreal administration.

The pipeline for Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration is rapidly evolving, with emerging therapies focusing on novel biological pathways beyond complement inhibition. Tinlarebant (LBS-008) is an oral therapy designed to reduce the accumulation of toxic vitamin A byproducts in the retina, thereby addressing a key driver of retinal degeneration. Similarly, Gildeuretinol acetate (ALK-001) targets vitamin A dimerization to prevent the formation of harmful retinal deposits. AVD-104 utilizes glycoimmune modulation to reduce inflammation and protect retinal cells. These therapies highlight a shift toward oral and less invasive treatment options, alongside innovative mechanisms targeting metabolic and inflammatory pathways. Overall, the emergence of both approved complement inhibitors and a diverse pipeline of targeted therapies marks a significant transition from supportive care to disease-modifying strategies in dry AMD.
