- 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.
Cary, North CarolinaAges Any age - 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.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 55 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.
Asheville, North CarolinaAges 50–85 - 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.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 60 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.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 50 years+ - NCT06659445RecruitingPhase 2
Study of ONL1204 for geographic atrophy in dry AMD
This study tests an investigational medicine called ONL1204 given as an injection into the eye for people with a form of advanced dry age-related macular degeneration called geographic atrophy. The goal is to see if it can slow vision loss.
Cary, North CarolinaAges 55 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.

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.
