Abstract
The present disclosure provides apolipoprotein (apo) mimetics useful for the treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and other eye disorders. The apo mimetics can be peptides/polypeptides that mimic, e.g., the lipid-clearing action of apolipoproteins such as apoA-I and apoE. The apo mimetics can exert other beneficial effects, such as reduction of inflammation, oxidative stress and neovascularization. The apo mimetics can be used to treat any stages (including the early, intermediate and advance stages) of AMD, and any phenotypes of AMD, including geographic atrophy (GA) (including non-central GA and central GA) and neovascularization (NV) (including types 1, 2 and 3 NV). The apo mimetics can be used alone or in conjunction with other therapeutic agents, such as a complement inhibitor and/or an anti-angiogenic agent, to treat AMD, including atrophic AMD and neovascular AMD, and other eye disorders.
