Summary
This early-stage study tests a new drug called Kamuvudine-8 (K8) for people with geographic atrophy, an advanced form of age-related macular degeneration that causes vision loss. About 30 participants will receive eye injections of K8 and be monitored for 26 weeks to check safety and whether it slows the growth of damaged areas in the eye. The goal is to see if this treatment can help control the disease and preserve sight.
