New eye drug shows promise for blinding disease
NCT ID NCT06164587
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial tests an experimental drug called Kamuvudine-8 (K8) for people with geographic atrophy, a form of advanced age-related macular degeneration that causes vision loss. About 30 participants receive eye injections of K8 and are monitored for 26 weeks to check safety and whether the drug can slow vision decline or damage. The goal is to see if K8 is safe and worth testing in larger studies.
