Iowa City, IowaAges 50–99 - NCT04339764RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
iPS cell eye transplant for dry macular degeneration
This early-phase study tests whether transplanting lab-made retinal cells from your own body can slow vision loss from geographic atrophy caused by dry age-related macular degeneration. It involves eye surgery and frequent follow-up to check safety and early signs of benefit.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 55–95 - NCT06511700Enrolling by invitation
Nurse-led eye injections: a new care approach
This trial tests whether specially trained nurses can safely give eye injections instead of doctors. It may make treatment quicker and easier for people who need regular injections for eye conditions.
Sabadell, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06141460RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy trial for wet age-related macular degeneration
This trial tests a new gene therapy called RRG001 for people with the 'wet' form of age-related macular degeneration. It aims to treat leaky blood vessels in the eye that can cause vision loss, possibly reducing the need for frequent eye injections.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 50 years+ - NCT07587515RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
New Eye Drop Treatment for Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration
This study tests a new experimental eye drop (EYC-0305) for wet AMD, a common cause of vision loss in older adults. The goal is to see if it can slow or prevent further damage to central vision.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 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.
Mesa, ArizonaAges 50 years+ - NCT07330674RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of ABF-101 in healthy people and AMD patients
This trial tests the safety of a new drug called ABF-101 in two groups: healthy volunteers (Part A and B) and people with age-related macular degeneration (AMD, Part C). If you join, you will help researchers understand how the drug affects the body and if it's safe enough to study further.
