Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- 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.
Erie, PennsylvaniaAges 60 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.
Erie, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Bethlehem, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Bethlehem, PennsylvaniaAges 50–85 - 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+ - NCT06765980RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of KRIYA-825 for geographic atrophy in age-related macular degeneration
This trial tests an experimental drug called KRIYA-825 (also known as VV-14295) for people with geographic atrophy, a late stage of dry age-related macular degeneration that causes vision loss. The study aims to see if the treatment is safe and can help slow the progression of the disease.
Erie, PennsylvaniaAges 55–80 - NCT07441642RecruitingPhase 2
Testing FWY003 eye drops for geographic atrophy (dry AMD)
This trial tests a new eye drop called FWY003 against a placebo (an inactive drop) to see if it can slow the progression of geographic atrophy (the dry form of age-related macular degeneration). It may help people who have moderate vision loss from this condition.
Erie, PennsylvaniaAges 50 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.
Bethlehem, PennsylvaniaAges 60 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.
Erie, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Erie, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 50 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+ - 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.

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.

Common questions
- Are there geographic atrophy clinical trials in Pennsylvania?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 14 recruiting geographic atrophy studies with a site in Pennsylvania, 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 geographic atrophy study in Pennsylvania?
- 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 Pennsylvania to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Pennsylvania, 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 geographic atrophy 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?
