Abstract | Antibody-based medicines that target vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are administered by intravitreal injection (IVI) to treat chronic neovascular retinal diseases. Much ongoing effort is focussed on enhancing therapeutic outcome of these medicines. One strategy is the use of dual-acting drugs (e.g., bispecific antibodies) to simultaneously bind to more than one intraocular biological target. A dual-acting molecule targeting components within the vitreal cavity could also extend vitreous residence time. In this review, we describe the applications of bispecific antibodies within the eye, with consideration of potential targets, applications, and suitable bispecific formats. |
