Recruiting studies near Philadelphia
- 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 50 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 55 years+ - NCT01866371Recruiting
High-detail eye scans for children and adults
This study tests a high-resolution imaging method that takes very detailed pictures of the retina (the light-sensing layer at the back of the eye). You might benefit by getting your eye health checked in a structured imaging study—if you’re able to comfortably complete the scan.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 7 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 50 years+ - 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 60 years+ - 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 50–85 - NCT07441642RecruitingPhase 2
Study of FWY003 for geographic atrophy in age-related macular degeneration
This trial tests an investigational drug FWY003 against a placebo to see if it can slow or stop the progression of geographic atrophy, a form of advanced age-related macular degeneration that causes vision loss.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 50 years+ - NCT07144137Recruiting
Observation study for geographic atrophy progression
This study observes how geographic atrophy (an advanced form of dry age-related macular degeneration) changes over a short period. If you have this condition in both eyes and meet certain vision and eye health criteria, you may be able to join this non-treatment study to help researchers learn more about the disease.
Bethlehem, PennsylvaniaAges 55 years+ - NCT07215234RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of an injection for geographic atrophy in AMD
This study tests a single injection of an experimental drug (SAR446597) into the eye for people with geographic atrophy, a late-stage form of dry age-related macular degeneration. The goal is to see if it can safely slow vision loss.

What taking part in a geographic atrophy 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.
