What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests the long-term safety of vonaprument, an experimental drug given as an injection into the eye, for people with geographic atrophy, a severe form of dry age-related macular degeneration that causes blind spots. Researchers will monitor participants who completed an earlier phase 3 trial to see how their bodies handle repeated doses over a longer period. The main goal is to track any side effects, not to measure how well the drug preserves vision.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
vonaprument (ANX007), given as an injection into the eye
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could support vonaprument as a long-term treatment option to slow the progression of geographic atrophy and help preserve vision.
What could go wrong
This is an extension study focused on safety, not on proving the drug works. Participants may still experience side effects from repeated eye injections, and the treatment may not halt vision loss for everyone.
