Degeneration of macula and posterior pole

This study tested a single injection of a gene therapy called GT005 in 98 people with geographic atrophy, an advanced form of dry age-related macular degeneration that causes vision loss. The goal was to see if the treatment could slow the growth of damaged areas in the eye and c…

This study tested a single injection of GT005, a gene therapy, in 255 people with geographic atrophy from dry age-related macular degeneration. The goal was to see if it could slow the growth of blind spots in the eye. The trial was terminated early, so we have less data than hop…

This early-stage trial tested a gene therapy called GT005 for dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss. The therapy delivers a working gene to the retina via a single injection. The study enrolled 56 people and focused on safety and dosing, but w…

This study tested whether using a virtual reality headset for one-hour sessions could help regenerate damaged optic nerves and improve vision in people with glaucoma or other retinal diseases. The idea came from promising results in rodents. However, the trial was terminated earl…

This Phase 2 study tested an oral drug called danicopan in 365 people with geographic atrophy, an advanced form of dry age-related macular degeneration that causes blind spots. Participants took different doses of danicopan or a placebo for up to 104 weeks to see if it could slow…

This study looked at whether eating corn rich in zeaxanthin (a natural pigment) could increase the density of the macular pigment in the eye, which may help prevent age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of blindness. Nine healthy volunteers aged 20-35 ate a dail…

This study tested a new, non-invasive eye imaging method called hyperspectral imaging. It takes pictures of the back of the eye using many different colors of light to find details not visible with standard cameras. About 679 adults with healthy eyes or eye diseases like diabetic…

This study aimed to validate a scoring system that predicts whether patients will have good vision one year after combined cataract and epiretinal membrane surgery. The score uses factors like age, symptom duration, and initial vision. Researchers planned to enroll 164 adults age…
