Can your genes predict which eye drug works best?
NCT ID NCT06952452
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 3 trial is testing whether a person's genetic makeup influences how well they respond to two standard drugs for wet age-related macular degeneration: ranibizumab and bevacizumab. About 630 patients will receive one of the two drugs and be followed for three years. The goal is to see if certain gene variants are linked to better or worse vision outcomes, which could help personalize treatment in the future.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ranibizumab and bevacizumab (anti-VEGF drugs injected into the eye)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors choose the most effective anti-VEGF drug for each patient based on their genetics, potentially improving vision outcomes and reducing costs.
- What could go wrong
- This is a large phase 3 trial, but it focuses on genetic markers that may not strongly predict treatment response. The results may not change clinical practice if the genetic links are weak.
