Dry Age-related Macular Degeneration clinical trials in California
We’re tracking 5 recruiting dry age-related macular degeneration studies with a site in California — including Phase 1, Phase 1/Phase 2, Phase 2 and Phase 4 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in California
- NCT06662162Recruiting
Microcurrent therapy for dry age-related macular degeneration
This trial tests a new type of electrical stimulation, called microcurrent therapy, to see if it can help people with a certain form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) that is not the "wet" kind. The treatment is delivered through an eye patch-like device and may slow vision loss or improve function.
Poway, CaliforniaAges 60 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.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - 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+ - 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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 50 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.

What taking part in a dry 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 dry age-related macular degeneration clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 5 recruiting dry 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 dry 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 dry 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 dry 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.
