Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy: Understanding

Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy: Overview

Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy is the most common form of corneal dystrophy. It is an inherited condition caused by changes in various genes, which lead to the abnormal function of the innermost layer of the cornea, the endothelium. The endothelium is made up of a single layer of cells (endothelial cells) which rest on a thin membrane (Descemet’s membrane). Endothelial cells normally function to keep the cornea clear and transparent by pumping fluid out of the stroma (the thick middle layer of the cornea). A small number of endothelial cells are normally lost when a person gets older but in Fuchs dystrophy this process is accelerated, causing the cornea to swell and become cloudy (corneal oedema), which in turn makes vision blurry. Most patients do not experience any symptoms when the first sign of Fuchs dystrophy is detected (known as corneal guttata), often by an optician during a routine eye check. As the condition progresses slowly over time, a variety of symptoms can occur: Glare due to scattering of light by the corneal guttata, blurry vision which tends to be worse in the morning and improves throughout the day (due to fluid accumulation in the stroma overnight which dries up from the corneal surface once the eyes are open), progressive worsening of vision as corneal oedema becomes more permanent due to further loss of endothelial cells. So far changes in 5 genes have been identified to cause Fuchs dystrophy, and the most common gene responsible for Fuchs dystrophy is the TCF4 gene. About 75% of cases in the Caucasian population are caused by a specific mutation (CTG18.1 expansion) in the TCF4 gene. Mutations in the COL8A2 gene is specifically associated with a rare type of Fuchs dystrophy that occur in children. Fuchs dystrophy is usually diagnosed with an eye examination by an ophthalmologist. There are usually tiny lumps inside the cornea called guttata which is characteristic of this condition. Though the underlying genetic cause of Fuchs dystrophy cannot yet be treated, several treatment options are available to improve symptoms. These include: Glasses or rigid contact lenses to sharpen the vision, saline eye drops can help to reduce corneal swelling that leads to blurry vision in the mornings, a specialized contact lens (bandage contact lens) can be used to ease the pain caused by broken blisters on the corneal surface while waiting for corneal transplant, corneal transplant surgery is required if there is significant pain associated with the blisters or if the vision is severely affected and not amenable to eye drops.

Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy Emerging Drugs
  • TTHX 1114: Trefoil Therapeutics
TTHX1114 is a proprietary, engineered form of the naturally occurring molecule Fibroblast Growth Factor-1 (FGF-1), which naturally functions to stimulate cell proliferation and migration as well as protect cells from stress and injury. TTHX1114 has been engineered to increase FGF-1’s pharmacodynamic half-life, enabling its use as a pharmaceutical. TTHX1114 has been shown in preclinical studies to stimulate endothelial cell proliferation and migration, and drive regeneration of the corneal endothelial layer. In addition to the trial in patients undergoing DSO surgery, the company is conducting a Phase 1/2 trial (“INTREPID”) to evaluate TTHX1114’s safety and ability to stimulate the regeneration of corneal endothelial cells lost due to corneal endothelial disorders, including FECD.
  • Ripasudil hydrocholoride hydrate: Kowa Pharmaceutical
Ripasudil hydrochloride hydrate is a rho-kinase inhibitor, it has been suggested that the compound may also act on other kinases in the eye, leading to investigations of its applicability to other ophthalmic diseases. As part of these efforts, development of the compound as a treatment for Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is underway.
