First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This early-stage trial tests a gene therapy called KH658 in 9 people with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The treatment delivers a protein that blocks VEGF, the cause of abnormal blood vessel growth, using a harmless virus. The goal is to see if a single injection can safely reduce or replace the need for regular eye injections. Participants must be 50-85 and have previously responded to standard anti-VEGF therapy.
