New eye drug aims to clear Vision-Damaging material in wet AMD
NCT ID NCT07403825
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests the drug faricimab (Vabysmo) in 100 people aged 50+ with wet age-related macular degeneration who have a specific type of harmful material under their retina. The goal is to see if the drug can clear that material by week 16. Participants receive injections into the eye, and researchers will track how well the treatment works using advanced imaging.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- faricimab (Vabysmo) injection
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that faricimab effectively clears harmful material under the retina, potentially improving vision for people with a specific type of wet age-related macular degeneration.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small, early-phase (Phase 4) study with only 100 participants. Results may not apply to all patients, and not everyone may see improvement. Eye injections carry risks like infection or inflammation.

Inclusion Criteria: * People aged 50 and over. * Diagnosed with bilateral or unilateral AMD. * Eyes with SHRM and type 2 or mixed (type 1 and 2) neovascular membrane. * Näive eyes treated with Faricimab following SmPC (summary of product characteristic). * They agree to participate in the study and sign the informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: * Eyes with type 1, aneurysmal type 1 and type 3 MNV. * Eyes with type 2 MNV and other macular diseases (myopia, posterior uveitis, systemic diseases, such as pseudoxanthoma elasticum). * Eyes with ocular media opacity. * Patients with other retinal diseases, such as central serous chorioretinopathy, diabetic retinopathy, retinal vascular occlusion, uveitis, myopic maculopathy or any other retinal disease that could compromise the best-corrected visual acuity and interfere with retinal parameters. * Any neurological condition (including cognitive impairment, stroke, dementia, Parkinson, anxiety or schizophrenia) that, in the opinion of the investigator, would pose a risk to patient's safety or interfere with the assessment, procedures, or completion of the study. * People who are participating or will participate in any type of clinical trial. * Pregnant women. * Breastfeeding women. * Women\* of childbearing potential who are unable or unwilling to use highly effective methods of contraception (bilateral tubal ligation, male sterilization, hormonal contraceptives that inhibit ovulation, hormone-releasing intrauterine devices, and copper intrauterine devices) from the start to the end of the study. * Woman of childbearing potential: considered as such if she is postmenarcheal, has not reached a postmenopausal state (≥12 continuous months of amenorrhea with no identified cause other than menopause), or has not undergone surgical sterilization (removal of ovaries and/or uterus).
