Recruiting studies in California
- NCT07440225RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing a new drug for wet macular degeneration
This trial tests a new medicine called EYE201/MK-8748 for people who have wet age-related macular degeneration (a condition where abnormal blood vessels grow under the retina). It's for those who haven't had treatment before and were diagnosed recently.
Glendale, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT07496567RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study of EYE201 for wet age-related macular degeneration
This trial tests a new medicine, EYE201, for people with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) that has not been treated before. The study will see if this drug can help improve vision and slow down vision loss.
Encino, CaliforniaAges 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.
Bakersfield, 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.
Bakersfield, CaliforniaAges 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.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 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+ - 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.
Santa Barbara, CaliforniaAges 50 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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - 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.
Mountain View, CaliforniaAges 55 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.

What taking part in a wet 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 wet macular degeneration clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 10 recruiting wet macular degeneration studies with a site in California, 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 wet macular degeneration study in California?
- 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 California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, 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 wet 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 wet macular degeneration studies open in California regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
