MACULAR DEGENERATION

This study tests a new medicine called tiespectus (EYE201) for wet age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of vision loss. About 960 people will receive either tiespectus or the standard treatment aflibercept via eye injections. The goal is to see if tiespectus can impr…

This study tests a new drug called tiespectus (MK-8748) against the current standard treatment, aflibercept, for people with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). About 960 participants will receive injections into the eye and be followed for a year to see if tiespectus can…

This study tests whether injecting a person's own bone marrow stem cells into or near the eye can help treat various retinal and optic nerve diseases, including age-related macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, and glaucoma. Participants receive stem cell injections via dif…

This study follows people who already received an eye injection of JNJ-81201887 or a sham in earlier studies for geographic atrophy, a form of advanced age-related macular degeneration that causes vision loss. The goal is to check long-term safety, including side effects and eye …

This study tests a new dye called MB-102 for taking pictures of the back of the eye (retina) to diagnose conditions like diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration. About 10 adults with healthy or diseased eyes will receive both the new dye and a standard dye to compare safety…

This study tests whether 5 weekly sessions of eye exercises with real-time visual and audio feedback can improve how people with central vision loss use their peripheral vision. About 12 participants with bilateral central vision loss from macular degeneration will do saccadic an…

This study tests whether a gentle electrical brain stimulation, called a-tDCS, can make reading training more effective for people with age-related or juvenile macular degeneration. About 30 participants will do six reading training sessions while receiving either real or fake st…

This study follows 500 people with geographic atrophy, an advanced form of age-related macular degeneration that causes permanent vision loss. Participants receive avacincaptad pegol (IZERVAY) as part of their routine care. Researchers will collect data on treatment patterns, sid…

This study looks at whether special vision training can improve how people with central vision loss from macular degeneration see and move their eyes. Researchers will train 60 adults aged 18 to 89 with severe vision loss to better detect and discriminate visual patterns. The goa…

This study looks at how color vision changes over time in people with inherited retinal diseases (IRDs). Researchers will study 200 participants, including those with IRDs and healthy volunteers, to see how color vision loss relates to changes in the retina's structure. They are …
