NCT ID NCT07317934

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This Phase 3 trial tests a single injection of LX102 gene therapy under the retina for people with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss. About 332 participants will receive either LX102 or standard aflibercept injections. The goal is to see if LX102 can maintain or improve vision while reducing the need for repeated treatments.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

LX102 (a gene therapy given as a single injection under the retina)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a one-time treatment for wet AMD, potentially reducing the need for frequent eye injections.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 3 trial, so results are not yet proven. Gene therapy carries risks like inflammation or retinal damage, and it may not work for everyone.
