Recruiting studies near Los Angeles
- NCT06557460RecruitingPhase 2
Cell implant for advanced dry age-related macular degeneration
This trial tests a patch of retinal cells implanted under the retina to see if it can slow or stop vision loss from advanced dry AMD (geographic atrophy). It may help people whose central vision is already affected.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 55–90 - NCT06541704RecruitingPhase 3
Study of pozelimab with cemdisiran for geographic atrophy
This trial tests a combination of two study drugs (pozelimab and cemdisiran) given as a shot under the skin to slow the progression of geographic atrophy, a type of advanced dry age-related macular degeneration that causes blind spots in central vision.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 50–85 - NCT03683251RecruitingPhase 3
Extension study for a refillable eye implant plus ranibizumab
This trial studies whether continuing treatment with a refillable eye implant (Port Delivery System) and ranibizumab injection helps control a specific type of wet macular degeneration. It’s mainly for people who already finished an earlier related study and are able to keep up with frequent eye checks and procedures.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT03178149RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new eye treatment for dry macular degeneration
This Phase 1 trial tests the safety and side effects of ASP7317 in older adults whose central vision is worsening from dry age-related macular degeneration (geographic atrophy). If you qualify, you would receive treatment in the study eye and be closely monitored for about a year.

Glendale, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT07614776RecruitingPhase 3
New Eye Injection Treatment for Age-Related Macular Degeneration
This study tests whether a new eye injection called ABP 938 works as well as or better than the current standard treatment (Eylea) for wet age-related macular degeneration—a condition that causes vision loss in the center of your sight. You would receive injections into your eye every month for a year.
Pasadena, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT04853251RecruitingPhase 4
Study of corneal cells after a ranibizumab eye implant
This trial checks how well corneal endothelial cells (cells that help keep the cornea clear) do in people with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) who are treated with a port-delivery implant that releases ranibizumab. It also helps doctors understand whether this method changes corneal health and stays safe while controlling the eye disease.
Pasadena, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT06635148RecruitingPhase 2
Long-term study for geographic atrophy treatment
This study is for people who already took part in a previous trial for geographic atrophy (a late stage of dry age-related macular degeneration) and received the study drug or a sham. It looks at the long-term safety of the treatment over time.
Pasadena, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT07587515RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New Eye Drop Treatment for Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration
This study tests a new experimental eye drop (EYC-0305) for wet AMD, a common cause of vision loss in older adults. The goal is to see if it can slow or prevent further damage to central vision.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT07482176RecruitingPhase 3
Gene therapy trial for wet age-related macular degeneration
This trial tests a one-time gene therapy injection (IXO-vec) for people with wet age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). It aims to reduce the need for frequent eye injections by helping the eye make its own medicine to block the growth of harmful blood vessels.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT05626114RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a lab-made eye treatment after subretinal surgery
This Phase 2 study tests OpRegen, a treatment delivered during special eye surgery, for geographic atrophy related to age-related macular degeneration (GA from AMD). It also includes an imaging “substudy” that uses detailed pictures of your retina to better track safety and activity.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT06990269RecruitingPhase 2
Study of ADX-038 for geographic atrophy in dry AMD
This trial tests an investigational drug (ADX-038) for people with geographic atrophy, a form of advanced dry age-related macular degeneration. The drug is given as an injection into the eye, and the study checks if it can slow down the growth of GA spots.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT05210803Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Long-term safety follow-up for wet AMD treatment
This study is a follow-up for people who have already received an injection of RGX-314 for wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in an earlier trial. It looks at how the treatment works over a longer time and any long-term effects.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT04627428RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem-cell–made eye tissue transplant for dry macular degeneration
This early-stage study tests whether a stem-cell–derived transplant to the back of the eye is safe and tolerable in people with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). If you qualify, you may receive the transplant and have close follow-up to watch for side effects.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 55 years+ - NCT06779773Recruiting
Study of avacincaptad pegol (Izervay) for geographic atrophy

Torrance, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT07215390RecruitingPhase 2
Study of APL-3007 plus Syfovre for geographic atrophy
This trial tests whether a new drug called APL-3007, when added to your current Syfovre treatment, can slow the progression of geographic atrophy (an advanced form of dry age-related macular degeneration). It's for people who have already been on Syfovre for at least 6 months.
Torrance, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT07496567RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study of EYE201 for wet age-related macular degeneration

Encino, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT07007065RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a gene therapy for wet age-related macular degeneration
This trial tests a one-time gene therapy injection for wet AMD that may reduce the need for regular eye injections. It is for people who have already responded to anti-VEGF injections but want a longer-lasting treatment.
Encino, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT05438732Recruiting
Test of an implanted eye device plus vision training for AMD
This study tests a device that is surgically implanted in the eye of people with late-stage age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It also uses vision training with a telescope-like tool to see if the treatment can improve day-to-day vision.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 65 years+ - NCT07630649RecruitingPhase 2
Gene therapy for wet age-related macular degeneration in second eye
This study tests a one-time gene therapy injection (ixoberogene soroparvovec) in the second eye of people with wet age-related macular degeneration who have already responded well to anti-VEGF injections. The goal is to see if this gene therapy can help preserve or improve vision in that eye.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT07064759RecruitingPhase 3
Gene therapy injection for wet age-related macular degeneration
This trial tests a one-time gene therapy injection (4D-150) for wet AMD. It might help reduce the need for frequent anti-VEGF eye injections by targeting the underlying cause of new blood vessel growth.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT07441642RecruitingPhase 2
Study of FWY003 for geographic atrophy in age-related macular degeneration

What taking part in a age-related macular degeneration study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
