Retinal Vein Occlusion is blockage of one of the retinal veins, which are blood vessels that carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) is a blockage in the main vein of your retina and Branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) occurs when the blockage is in a smaller branch of veins throughout the retina.

Retinal Vein Occlusion caused by glaucoma, which is a condition that damages the optic nerve, smoking, rare blood disorders, atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries and blood clots, which often travel from elsewhere in the body to the eye.

Signs and symptoms of Retinal vein occlusion includes blurry or missing vision in part or all an eye, dark spots or lines floating in vision, pain and pressure in the eye.

Doctors most often diagnose Retinal vein occlusion by using optical coherence tomography (OCT) to take a high-definition image of your retina, an instrument called an ophthalmoscope can be used to examine your retina and a fluorescein angiography which is a dye injected into a certain vein in your arm.

The most common investigative treatments of Retinal vein occlusion include antivascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) drugs which are injected into the eye, corticosteroid drugs that are injected into your eye to control the swelling.

The pipeline of Retinal Vein Occlusion treatment market consists of a great variable of drugs. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-A (VEGF-A) Inhibitors, Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-B (VEGF-B) Inhibitors, Placental 1 Growth Factor (P1GF) Inhibitors and some others are the most highlighted class of this indication. Ongoing research and current trials have the potential to change the market.

More than 10 key players, including pharma giants such as ANBITION Srl, Allgenesis Biotherapeutics Inc, F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd and others are working to bring novel therapies that overcome the roadblocks of AML treatment pipeline.
