Seventy-seven trials employed gene augmentation using viral vectors; other approaches included inhibitory RNA (9), encapsulated cell technology (6), systemic approach (1), and observational trials (8). The most common clinical trial phase was phase 1/2 (46), followed by phase 3 (12). One trial led to an FDA-approved treatment. Sixty-nine trials were conducted in a single country, and 32 trials were multinational; The USA had the highest share in both categories.

In tandem, rates of AD are also on the rise, potentially as a result of this increased alcohol use throughout the lifespan. We then review the biological processes in common between alcohol use disorder and AD as a means to uncover potential mechanisms by which they interact; these include oxidative stress, neuroimmune function, metabolism, pathogenic tauopathy development and spread, and neuronal excitatory/inhibitory balance (EIB).

Orthologous approaches including cellular and animal models as well as pilot clinical trials have paved the way to understand the occurrence, alterations, and interactions of T cell populations in the retina. Interestingly, the notions of the involvement of the adaptive immune system in AMD have also gained support through recent findings in various neurodegenerative and chronic low-grade diseases, including multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, or arteriosclerosis. In this group of pathologies, cells of the adaptive immune system bypass immune barriers and fuel inflammatory processes at immune-privileged sites. These findings have pointed at immunosenescence as a critical pro-inflammatory process involving T cell biology. Using a murine model relevant to the pathophysiology of geographic atrophy, we have demonstrated that specific populations of memory T cells are recruited to the retina prior to neurodegeneration. The investigation of these retinas at later degenerative stages revealed the presence of activated cytotoxic T cells at the injury site.
