[Complement inhibition treatment for geographic atrophy (GA): functional and morphological efficacy and relevant biomarkers in clinical practice].

The approval of complement inhibitory therapeutic agents for the treatment of geographic atrophy (GA) has highlighted the need for reliable and reproducible measurement of disease progression and therapeutic efficacy. Due to its availability and imaging characteristics optical coherence tomography (OCT) is the method of choice. Using OCT analysis based on artificial intelligence (AI), the therapeutic efficacy of pegcetacoplan was demonstrated at the levels of both the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and photoreceptors (PR). Cloud-based solutions that enable monitoring of GA are already available.
