    Further clinical trials are necessary to define the role of agents targeting Ang/Tie in future clinical practice. Among the investigational drugs targeting the Ang/Tie pathway, faricimab has shown promising results in phase II/III trials and in the near future may represent a viable treatment option for the management of exudative macular diseases.

    Preclinical candidates include SB-267268, AXT-107, JNJ-26076713, Cilengitide and Lebecetin, which exhibit a decrease in retinal permeability, angiogenesis and/or choroidal neovascularization (CNV)...Anti-integrin agents tackle the multi-factorial nature of DR and AMD and show promise as injectable and topical agents in preclinical and early clinical studies. Integrin inhibition has potential to serve as primary therapy, adjunctive therapy to anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents, or secondary therapy in refractory cases.

    Review, Journal:  The Tie2 signaling pathway in retinal vascular diseases: a novel therapeutic target in the eye. (Pubmed Central) -  Oct 20, 2020   
    Tie2 activation only modestly impacts angiogenesis on its own but significantly potentiates VEGF suppression. Co-regulation of the VEGF and Tie2 signaling pathways has the potential to improve functional and structural outcomes in eyes with retinal vascular diseases.

    Journal:  A collagen IV-derived peptide disrupts α5β1 integrin and potentiates Ang2-Tie2 signaling. (Pubmed Central) -  May 13, 2020   
    The potentiation of Tie2 activation by Ang2 even extended in to mouse models in which AXT107 induced Tie2 phosphorylation in a model of hypoxia and inhibited vascular leakage in an Ang2-overexpression transgenic model and an LPS-induced inflammation model. Since Ang2 levels are very high in ischemic diseases, such as diabetic macular edema, neovascular age-related macular degeneration, uveitis, and cancer, targeting α5β1 with AXT107 provides a novel and potentially more effective approach to treat these diseases.
