Summary

This study tests a drug called BI 1584862 in 150 adults aged 50+ with geographic atrophy, an advanced form of age-related macular degeneration that causes blind spots. Participants receive either the drug or a placebo for 1 year. Doctors track changes in the retina using special imaging to see if the drug slows the growth of damaged areas.
