One shot to save sight? gene therapy trial aims to end frequent eye injections for wet AMD
NCT ID NCT07064759
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This Phase 3 trial tests a single injection of 4D-150, a gene therapy, in 480 adults with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The goal is to see if one treatment can maintain or improve vision and reduce the need for standard anti-VEGF injections like Eylea. Participants will be followed for up to two years.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 4D-150 (a gene therapy given as a single eye injection)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could mean people with wet AMD need far fewer eye injections, possibly just one treatment lasting years instead of regular shots.
- What could go wrong
- This is still an early Phase 3 trial, so results are not guaranteed. The gene therapy may not work for everyone, and there could be side effects like inflammation or vision changes.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * ≥50 years of age at time of consent * MNV secondary to nAMD with IVT anti-VEGF treatment history in the study eye, defined as EITHER: 1. Treatment naïve, i.e. no prior IVT anti-VEGF therapy OR 2. Previously treated with no more than 4 IVT anti-VEGF injections due to nAMD and received diagnosis of nAMD no more than 6 months prior to the Screening Visit AND documented evidence of anatomical improvement and visual stability/improvement in response to previous IVT anti-VEGF treatment, as determined by the Investigator * Active subfoveal MNV or juxtafoveal/ extrafoveal MNV with a subfoveal component (where activity is defined as evidence of SRF, IRF, subretinal hyperreflective material, or leakage) identified by fluorescein angiography (FA) or spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) , in the study eye, at the Screening Visit confirmed by the Reading Center * Demonstrated clinical response to aflibercept and functional stability in the study eye as confirmed by the Reading Center * BCVA between 25 and 78 ETDRS letters, inclusive (20/320-20/32 Snellen equivalent) in the study eye at the Screening Visit * CST less than or equal to 500 microns in the study eye at screening visit, confirmed by the central reading center Exclusion Criteria: Ocular Conditions: * MNV due to causes other than nAMD in either eye (Fibrosis, atrophy, or subretinal hemorrhage in the foveal central subfield (1 mm diameter) * History of retinal detachment in the study eye * History of or presence of active inflammation in either eye * Glaucoma or intraocular hypertension requiring more than 2 topical medications for control Ocular Treatments/Interventions: * Any prior or concomitant treatment for MNV or vitreomacular-interface abnormalities, other than allowed prior IVT anti-VEGF in the study eye Systemic Conditions and Considerations: * Major illness or major surgical procedure in the 28 days prior to the Screening Visit * Uncontrolled blood pressure * Acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction or coronary artery revascularization, cerebrovascular accident, transient ischemic attack within 6 months of the Screening Visit * History of autoimmune condition that may predispose to the development of uveitis
