Zusammenfassung

Eine Erkrankung der Makula ist in den Industrienationen der häufigste Grund für eine Erblindung. Nach WHO-Daten von 2002 sind die Ursachen hierfür in den Industrienationen zu 50% auf die altersabhängige Makuladegeneration (AMD) und zu ca. 18% auf die diabetische Retinopathie zurückzuführen (Resnikoff et al. 2004). Große Hoffnung für die Behandlung der exsudativen Form der AMD brachte die Einführung einer lokalen Therapie am Auge, die den »vascular endothelial growth factor« (VEGF) hemmt. Der Wachstumsfaktor VEGF spielt sowohl bei der AMD als auch bei der diabetischen Retinopathie eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Entstehung und Progression. Inhibitoren von VEGF sind zugelassene Medikamente für die Behandlung der altersabhängigen Makuladegeneration seit 2004. Die erste Zulassung erhielt Pegaptanib (Macugen®, Fa. Pfizer) und kurz darauf Ranibizumab (Lucentis®, Fa. Novartis). Zusätzlich zu den zugelassenen Präparaten findet sich eine breite Anwendung von Bevacizumab (Avastin®, Fa. Roche Pharma AG), ebenfalls ein VEGF-Inhibitor, der für die Behandlung bei Darmkrebs entwickelt wurde und nur hierfür zugelassen ist.
