Abstract
Introduction: Current treatment for age-related macular degeneration poses a large burden on patients and the inability of patients to adhere to this immense burden can lead to worse visual outcomes. Novel treatments have been proposed to extend treatment intervals and reduce visit burden.
Areas covered: This review article summarizes phase I and phase II clinical trials of tyrosine kinase inhibitors as durable treatment options for patient with neovascular age-related macular degeneration.
Expert opinion: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors have shown substantial promise in reducing treatment burden while maintaining visual acuity and anatomic outcomes with favorable safety profiles. Several platforms have shown positive outcomes in initial trials and are currently moving toward phase III clinical trials.
