New eye drug aims to cut injection frequency for wet AMD patients
NCT ID NCT06668064
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This phase 3 trial tests EYP-1901, a new eye injection that may last longer than current treatments for wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). About 400 people with wet AMD will receive either EYP-1901 or standard aflibercept injections over 2 years. The main goal is to see if EYP-1901 can maintain or improve vision while reducing the number of injections needed.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- EYP-1901 (a tyrosine kinase inhibitor given as an eye injection)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could mean fewer eye injections for people with wet AMD while maintaining or improving vision.
- What could go wrong
- This is still an experimental treatment; it may not be as effective as current standard therapy, and eye injections carry risks like infection or inflammation.

Inclusion Criteria: * Previously treated or treatment naïve patients with a documented diagnosis of wAMD in the study eye, with onset of disease that began at any time prior to the Screening Visit. * Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) by Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) letter score between 78 to 35 letters (approximately 20/32 to 20/200 Snellen equivalent) in the study eye at the Screening Visit and on Baseline (Day 1). * For previously-treated subjects, must have been treated with at least 2 anti-VEGF IVT injections (i.e., aflibercept 2 mg, aflibercept 8 mg, bevacizumab, ranibizumab, or faricimab) in the previous 6 months for wAMD per standard of care in the study eye prior to the Screening Visit. Exclusion Criteria: * Subfoveal fibrosis, atrophy, or scarring in the center subfield. * BCVA using ETDRS charts \<20 letters (20/400 Snellen equivalent) in the fellow eye.
