Summary

This study tests whether dapagliflozin, a drug used for diabetes, can slow the progression of geographic atrophy—an advanced form of dry age-related macular degeneration that causes blind spots. About 70 adults aged 50 and older with non-foveal geographic atrophy will take the drug for 12 months. Researchers will measure changes in retinal damage and vision to see if the drug is safe and effective.
