I don’t think delivery per se is the limiting issue in RNAi treatment for AMD. Rather, the limiting issue is the need to produce Lucentis-like efficacy without unreasonably frequent intravitreal injections. Regards, Dew

p.s. Just to be clear: MRK/ALNY, Acuity Pharma, and AGN/RNAI are (were) pursuing (pursued) RNA interference of the VEGF gene, while PFE will be pursuing RNA interference of the RTP-801 gene.
