Experimental eye injection aims to halt rare genetic vision loss

NCT ID NCT03364153

Summary

This completed Phase 2 trial tested whether regular injections of an experimental drug called Zimura into the eye could safely slow the progression of vision loss in people with a rare genetic eye disease called Stargardt's. The study involved 121 participants who received either the drug or a sham (fake) injection over 18 months to compare results. Researchers measured changes in the retina and vision to see if the treatment helped control the disease.
