Summary

This study tests a new medicine called BI 771716 for geographic atrophy, an advanced form of age-related macular degeneration that causes vision loss. About 202 adults aged 50 and older will receive either the new drug or an existing treatment (pegcetacoplan) as eye injections. The goal is to see if BI 771716 can slow the growth of damaged areas in the eye better than the current standard of care.
