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.

Laser test for aging-related macular spots under the retina
This trial studies a mild (“subthreshold”) laser treatment for reticular pseudodrusen (RPD) caused by age-related macular degeneration (AMD). If you qualify, the goal is to see whether the laser helps preserve or improve vision by targeting these specific eye changes.
GenovaAges 55 years+ - NCT05445063RecruitingPhase 1
iPSC eye-cell transplant for late dry macular degeneration
This Phase 1 study tests an experimental transplant made from your own cells to try to improve vision in people with advanced “late dry” age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It focuses first on safety, and may help some participants with limited central vision.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 50–75 - NCT06046118Recruiting

ParisAges 50 years+ - NCT06394232RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a cell therapy for advanced dry AMD with geographic atrophy
This trial tests a new treatment called Eyecyte-RPE™, made from special cells that support the retina. It is given as a single injection under the retina during eye surgery. The study aims to see if it can help people with advanced dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) who have large areas of damage (geographic atrophy) in the center of their vision.
Jālna, MaharashtraAges 50–100 - NCT07680244Recruiting
Testing a new tool to see retina in eye scans
This trial is testing a new software tool that helps doctors see and assess different parts of the retina in eye scans. It aims to see how well the tool works in people with and without certain retina conditions.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05706896Recruiting
Cord blood plasma injections for dry macular degeneration
This trial tests whether injections made from umbilical cord blood “platelet-rich plasma” can improve vision in people with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in both eyes. It targets older adults with specific vision levels and no major other eye or medical problems that could affect the results.
RomeAges 65 years+ - NCT06536062Recruiting
Cord blood and platelet plasma for dry macular degeneration
This trial tests if a treatment made from umbilical cord blood and platelet-rich plasma can help people with dry age-related macular degeneration. The treatment is given as an injection into the eye, and the goal is to see if it slows vision loss or improves sight.
Rome, RomeAges 65 years+ - NCT03921931Recruiting
Test retinal responses to light in healthy eyes or eye disease
This is a small pilot study that measures how parts of the retina change before and after light stimulation. It may help researchers understand eye function in people with normal vision or specific eye conditions like glaucoma or dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT07446582Recruiting
AI camera test for wet AMD detection
This study tests a new AI-powered camera that takes special pictures of the back of the eye to find signs of wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) more easily. It compares images from people with wet AMD and healthy volunteers to see if the AI can spot the disease early.
Woodbridge, New JerseyAges 40 years+ - NCT07770828RecruitingPhase 3
Gene therapy for advanced dry age-related macular degeneration
This trial tests an experimental gene therapy, OCU410, for people with geographic atrophy, an advanced form of dry AMD that causes blind spots in the center of vision. The study aims to see if this treatment can slow down the progression of the disease and help preserve remaining vision.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 55 years+ - NCT06487039RecruitingPhase 2
EB-203 for wet age-related macular degeneration
This trial tests a new medicine called EB-203 for people with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a condition that causes blurry vision. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and can help improve or stabilize vision.
BusanAges 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.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 55–90 - NCT07158775RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
BS01 gene therapy for dry age-related macular degeneration
This trial tests a new gene therapy, BS01, given as an eye injection. It is for people with advanced dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) that has caused geographic atrophy—damage to the central part of the retina. The study aims to see if the treatment is safe and can help slow vision loss.
Edison, New JerseyAges 50–85 - NCT06165068RecruitingPhase 3
Antiplatelet and antioxidant drugs for dry AMD with drusen
This study tests whether antiplatelet drugs (like aspirin) and antioxidants can slow the growth of drusen (yellow deposits) in dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It may help prevent the disease from worsening.
Bangkok, DusitAges 50–85 - 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.
Mesa, ArizonaAges 50 years+ - NCT05465252Recruiting
Omega-3 supplement to slow early dry macular degeneration
This trial studies whether taking omega-3 fatty acids can slow the worsening of dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in people with early or intermediate disease. It may help by testing if omega-3 changes how the retina changes over time.
ShanghaiAges 50–85 - NCT06319872RecruitingPhase 1
Study of disulfiram for vision in retinal degeneration
This trial tests whether disulfiram, a drug used for alcohol use disorder, can improve vision in people with retinal degeneration. You must have an alcohol use diagnosis and agree to avoid alcohol for 6 months.
