Stargardt and Fundus Flavimaculatus; Current and Developing Treatments
Keyword(s):
Stargardt macular dystrophy is a hereditary retinal degeneration that lacks effective treatment options. The pathophysiology of the disease is still not fully understood. While there are currently no available treatments for Stargardt disease, there are many categories of therapeutics under investigation to fulfill this unmet need for treatment. These include investigational visual cycle modulators, complement inhibitors, ABCA4 gene therapy, and subretinal transplantation of stem cell-derived retina pigment epithelial cells. Further trials are warranted to assess efficacy and safety in humans. In this review, the treatments investigated for the Stargardt disease are explained.
