Gene therapy injection aims to halt vision loss in AMD patients

NCT ID NCT07392255

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a single injection of CTx001 gene therapy into the eye for people with geographic atrophy, a form of advanced age-related macular degeneration that causes vision loss. The trial involves 75 participants and will monitor safety and whether the treatment can slow damage to the retina over two years, with long-term follow-up up to five years.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
CTx001 (gene therapy)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could slow or stop the progression of geographic atrophy, preserving vision in people with age-related macular degeneration.
What could go wrong
This is an early Phase 1/2 trial with only 75 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Gene therapy via subretinal injection carries risks like inflammation or vision loss.
