20080254140 | Combination Methods and Therapies for Treating Opthalmic Conditions with 13-Cis-Retinyl Derivatives - Described herein are combination methods, compositions and therapies for treating ophthalmic conditions or diseases arising from, associated with or leading to the overproduction of waste products in the visual cycle. Agents included within these combinations are 13-cis-retinyl derivatives; other agents included within these combinations are selected from vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, inducers of nitric oxide production, anti-inflammatory agents, and negatively-charged phospholipids. Such combination methods may be used as single or multiple administration therapies, or in combination with other agents or therapies. | 10-16-2008 |
20090054532 | Modulators of Retinol-Retinol Binding Protein (RBP)-Transthyretin (TTR) Complex Formation - Described herein are methods and compositions for the detection of transthyretin (TTR), retinol binding protein (RBP) and retinol complex formation. The methods and compositions described herein also provide for the screening of modulators of retinol-RBP-TTR complex formation. Furthermore, the methods and compositions provide for therapeutic agents for the treatment and/or prevention of age-related macular degeneration and/or dystrophies. | 02-26-2009 |

20100298443 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR TREATING OPHTHALMIC CONDITIONS WITH RETINYL DERIVATIVES - Compounds that cause reversible night blindness may be used to treat ophthalmic conditions associated with the overproduction of waste products that accumulate during the course of the visual cycle. We describe methods and compositions using such compounds and their derivatives to treat, for example, the macular degenerations and dystrophies or to alleviate symptoms associated with such ophthalmic conditions. Such compounds and their derivatives may be used as single agent therapy or in combination with other agents or therapies. | 11-25-2010 |
20110294891 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR TREATING OPTHALMIC CONDITIONS WITH RETINOL DERIVATIVES - Compounds that cause reversible night blindness may be used to treat ophthalmic conditions associated with the overproduction of waste products that accumulate during the course of the visual cycle. We describe methods and compositions using such compounds and their derivatives to treat, for example, the macular degenerations and dystrophies or to alleviate symptoms associated with such ophthalmic conditions. Such compounds and their derivatives may be used as single agent therapy or in combination with other agents or therapies. | 12-01-2011 |
20120202885 | METHODS, ASSAYS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR TREATING RETINOL-RELATED DISEASES - Described herein are methods and compositions for treating certain retinol-related diseases and conditions by modulation of transthyretin (TTR) and retinol binding protein (RBP) availability in the subject. For example, the methods and compositions provide for therapeutic agents for the treatment and/or prevention of age-related macular degeneration and/or dystrophies, metabolic disorders, idiopathic intracranial hypertension, hyperostosis, and protein misfolding and aggregation diseases. The compositions disclosed may be used as single agent therapy or in combination with other agents or therapies. In addition, described herein are methods and assays for selecting appropriate agents that can modulate the TTR and RBP availability in a subject. | 08-09-2012 |
