New eye drug trial hopes to slow vision loss from dry AMD
NCT ID NCT07160179
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a new medicine called ABBV-6628 for people with geographic atrophy, an advanced form of dry age-related macular degeneration that causes vision loss. About 66 adults aged 50 and older will receive eye injections of the study drug or an approved treatment (SYFOVRE) to check safety and how well it works. The trial lasts about 22 months with regular clinic visits and eye exams.

Inclusion Criteria: Stage 1 and Stage 2 -Diagnosed with Geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in the study eye. Stage 1 * Foveal or non-foveal GA with total GA lesion area ≥ 0.5 DA (1.25 mm2) in the study eye, as assessed by the investigator at Screening and confirmed by the central reading center prior to Baseline/Day 1 * Absence of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in the study eye as assessed by the investigator at Screening and confirmed by the central reading center prior to Baseline/Day 1. In addition, investigators should confirm eligibility prior to treatment administration on Baseline/Day 1. Stage 2 * Non-foveal GA with total lesion area of 1 to 7 DA (2.5 to 17.5 mm2); within 0.5 to 1.5 mm from fovea center in the study eye, as assessed by the investigator at Screening and confirmed by the central reading center prior to Baseline/Day 1. * Absence of CNV in both eyes as assessed by the investigator at Screening and confirmed by the central reading center prior to Baseline/Day 1. In addition, investigators should confirm eligibility prior to treatment administration on Baseline/Day 1. Exclusion Criteria: Stage 1 and Stage 2 * History of recurrent or currently active ocular or intraocular inflammation (e.g., uveitis, endophthalmitis) in at least one eye at Screening and Baseline/Day 1. * Active periocular, ocular, or intraocular infection in at least one eye at Baseline/Day 1. * History or clinical signs of diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema (DME), or any retinal vascular disease other than AMD in at least one eye at Screening and Baseline/Day 1.
