The United States has just approved a new treatment to treat AMD, age-related muscle degeneration. Good news ? Update with doctor and journalist Damien Mascret, present on the 19/20 set, Monday May 29.
The treatment, “under evaluation by the European Medicines Agency”, should arrive in France within a few months, reports the doctor and journalist Damien Mascret, present on the set of 19/20, Monday, May 29. AMD is a degeneration of the macula, the area of the retina that provides sharp central vision. “The downside is that in dry AMD, the one for which we are now finally going to have treatment, there is a gradual decline in vision”says the doctor.
Progress also for “wet” AMD
With SYFOVRE, the drug in question, “We are not going to cure AMD, but we are going to slow down the progression of the disease”, he says. Further progress is expected for the other form of AMD, called “humid”. “Thanks to the new treatment that is in preparation, VABYSMO, we should be able to space out the injections, it will be more comfortable for patients”concludes Damien Mascret.
