Recruiting studies near Houston
- NCT07160179RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of an eye injection for geographic atrophy
This study tests a new medicine (ABBV-6628) given as an injection into the eye to see how well it works and how it moves through the body for people with geographic atrophy (an advanced form of dry age-related macular degeneration). It may help slow vision loss from this condition.
The Woodlands, TexasAges 50 years+ - NCT07482176RecruitingPhase 3
Gene therapy trial for wet age-related macular degeneration
This trial tests a one-time gene therapy injection (IXO-vec) for people with wet age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). It aims to reduce the need for frequent eye injections by helping the eye make its own medicine to block the growth of harmful blood vessels.
The Woodlands, TexasAges 50 years+ - NCT03999801Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Long-term follow-up for a subretinal eye treatment
This study checks how well a previous eye treatment (RGX-314) lasts over time. There is also an extra “other eye” study for people with age-related macular degeneration affecting both eyes.
The Woodlands, TexasAges 50 years+ - NCT05197270RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug 4D-150 for wet macular degeneration not responding enough
This early-stage study tests 4D-150 (a one-time injection into the eye) for “wet” age-related macular degeneration to see if it can better control leaking blood vessel growth and reduce fluid. It’s for people who are already getting anti-VEGF injections but still need ongoing treatment because of signs of fluid on special eye scans.
The Woodlands, TexasAges 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.
The Woodlands, TexasAges 55–90 - NCT05210803Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Long-term safety follow-up for wet AMD treatment
This study is a follow-up for people who have already received an injection of RGX-314 for wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in an earlier trial. It looks at how the treatment works over a longer time and any long-term effects.
The Woodlands, TexasAges Any age - 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.
The Woodlands, TexasAges 60 years+ - NCT06924021Recruiting
AMD Eye Image Library (ABID) Study
This study is creating a library of eye images to help doctors better diagnose age-related macular degeneration (AMD). You can join if you have healthy eyes or any stage of AMD that has never been treated.
The Woodlands, TexasAges 50 years+ - NCT07630649RecruitingPhase 2
Gene therapy for wet age-related macular degeneration in second eye
This study tests a one-time gene therapy injection (ixoberogene soroparvovec) in the second eye of people with wet age-related macular degeneration who have already responded well to anti-VEGF injections. The goal is to see if this gene therapy can help preserve or improve vision in that eye.

What taking part in a 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.
