First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study interviews 30 patients with wet age-related macular degeneration to understand their views on gene therapy. Researchers want to know if the benefits outweigh the risks of this irreversible treatment, and how patients make decisions about complex therapies. The goal is not to test a treatment, but to gather patient perspectives on ethical issues.
