We’re tracking 29 recruiting macular degeneration studies with a site in Maryland — including Phase 1/Phase 2 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Maryland
- NCT06467344RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing ACDN-01 for ABCA4 Stargardt eye disease
This trial tests an experimental medicine called ACDN-01 for people with Stargardt retinopathy caused by ABCA4 gene mutations. The goal is to see if it can slow or stop vision loss in an eye with already damaged central vision.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 12 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.
Hagerstown, MarylandAges Any age - 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.
Hagerstown, MarylandAges 60 years+ - NCT01496625Recruiting
Biobank study for retinal diseases and comparison samples
This study collects and stores blood and eye-related medical information to help researchers better understand retinal diseases, including age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Your samples may also be used to compare people with retinal disease to people without it.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–120 - NCT02435940Recruiting
Registry for inherited eye vision conditions
This study is a registry, meaning it collects information about people with inherited retinal (retina) diseases. It may help researchers learn how these conditions progress and connect you with future studies or treatments.

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.

Common questions
- Are there macular degeneration clinical trials in Maryland?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 29 recruiting macular degeneration studies with a site in Maryland, 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 macular degeneration study in Maryland?
- 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 Maryland to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Maryland, 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 macular degeneration 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?
New macular degeneration studies open in Maryland regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
