Recruiting studies in California
- NCT06375239Recruiting
Study of tests for tracking vision in retinal disease
This study will check if certain vision tests work well in people with retinal diseases like retinitis pigmentosa or Stargardt. Results will help design future trials.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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.
La Jolla, 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+ - 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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT07205887RecruitingPhase 2
Study of EYE103 for wet AMD or macular edema after BRVO
This trial tests an investigational drug called EYE103 injected into the eye to treat two conditions: wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or macular edema following a branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). It looks at how safe and effective the drug is for people who have not had treatment before or have not responded well to previous treatments.
Glendale, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07502664Recruiting
A study on vision and navigation in inherited retinal disease
This study is looking at how people with inherited retinal disease that affects peripheral vision see and move around. It will test a new way to measure vision and navigation to see if it can help doctors understand how the disease affects daily life.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07556406Recruiting
Eye imaging study for age-related macular degeneration
This study uses specialized eye imaging to track changes in geographic atrophy, a type of vision loss from macular degeneration. Researchers will use new imaging techniques to better understand how this condition progresses and how treatments work.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 55 years+ - NCT05481827Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Safety follow-up for GT005 in geographic eye damage
This study checks the long-term safety of GT005, a treatment you received in an earlier study, for geographic atrophy related to age-related macular degeneration. It mainly asks you to come to follow-up visits and confirm how you are doing over time.
Poway, CaliforniaAges 55 years+ - NCT03999801Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Long-term follow-up for a subretinal eye treatment
This study checks how well a previous eye treatment (RGX-314) lasts over time. There is also an extra “other eye” study for people with age-related macular degeneration affecting both eyes.
Santa Barbara, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT06779773Recruiting
Study of avacincaptad pegol (Izervay) for geographic atrophy
This study looks at how avacincaptad pegol (brand name Izervay) works in real-world medical practice for people with geographic atrophy, a form of age-related macular degeneration that causes vision loss. If your doctor has already decided to treat you with this medicine, you may be able to join.

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.

Common questions
- Are there age-related macular degeneration clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 35 recruiting age-related macular degeneration studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a age-related macular degeneration study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a age-related macular degeneration trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New age-related macular degeneration studies open in California regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
