Fewer eye injections for wet AMD? new trial tests quarterly faricimab
NCT ID NCT06742307
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether faricimab (Vabysmo) injections given every 12-16 weeks can maintain stability in people with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) after an initial series of loading doses. The trial will enroll 40 adults over 50 with active wet AMD. The main goal is to see if vision and eye health stay stable for a year without needing more frequent shots.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Faricimab (Vabysmo) injection
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that wet age-related macular degeneration can be managed with fewer injections per year, reducing treatment burden for patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study with only 40 participants. The quarterly schedule may not prevent disease recurrence in all patients, and results may not apply to everyone with wet AMD.
