Gene therapy injection aims to treat dry AMD
NCT ID NCT07024732
First seen Jul 13, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests the safety of a single injection of PST-611, a DNA-based therapy, in people aged 50 and older with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The therapy is designed to make the eye produce a protein that may protect against vision loss. Participants receive one dose and are monitored for 16 weeks to check for side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- PST-611 (a DNA-based therapy injected into the eye muscle)
- What this could lead to
- If safe and effective, this approach could offer a new way to treat dry age-related macular degeneration by helping the eye produce a protective protein.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small trial (8 people) focused only on safety, not on whether the treatment works. Side effects or lack of benefit are possible.
