First seen Feb 04, 2026 · Last updated Jun 10, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study tests whether an oral drug called dimethyl fumarate (Tecfidera) can safely slow the growth of geographic atrophy, a form of advanced age-related macular degeneration that causes vision loss. About 90 adults aged 55–85 with geographic atrophy will take the drug for 12 months. Researchers will measure changes in the size of the damaged area in the eye and track any side effects.
