20080206227FACTOR VII CONJUGATES FOR SELECTIVELY TREATING NEOVASCULARIZATION DISORDERS - Methods and compositions are provided for the treatment of diseases such as exudative macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity, choroidal neovascularization, retinal neovascularization, iris neovascularization, corneal neovascularization, ocular tumors, and other disorders of the eye, cancer, and inflammatory disorders. The method involves administering a conjugate, referred to as fVIIPD, containing a photosensitizer and a targeting molecule such as factor VII (“fVII”), fVIIa, or modified fVII, which binds with high affinity and specificity to tissue factor (TF). TF is more highly expressed, abnormally expressed or specifically expressed on endothelial cells lining the luminal surface of pathological neovasculature, than on normal vasculature, thus providing a specific and accessible therapeutic target. Following administration of fVIIPD, the compound specifically binds to the pathological neovasculature of the eye by interaction of the targeting molecule with TF expressed by endothelial cells within abnormal blood vessels. The photosensitizer may then be activated with a non-thermal laser light for selective destruction of abnormal vasculature.08-28-2008
