Summary

This early-stage trial tests a gene therapy called KH658 for people with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The treatment aims to deliver a protein that blocks abnormal blood vessel growth, potentially reducing the need for frequent eye injections. Nine participants aged 50 to 85 who previously responded to standard anti-VEGF therapy will receive a single dose to check safety and tolerability.
