New eye implant shows promise for Long-Term wet AMD control
NCT ID NCT07516132
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study is checking the long-term safety of an implant called OTX-TKI (axitinib) for people with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The implant is placed in the eye and slowly releases medicine to control the disease. About 850 people who already completed two years of treatment in earlier studies will be followed for up to three more years. The main goal is to see if the implant remains safe over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- axitinib implant (OTX-TKI)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that the axitinib implant is safe for long-term use, potentially offering a treatment that reduces the need for frequent eye injections for wet AMD.
- What could go wrong
- This is an extension study focused on safety, not on how well the treatment works. It only includes people who already did well in earlier trials, so results may not apply to everyone with wet AMD.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants with a diagnosis of nAMD in the study eye who successfully completed Study OTX-TKI-2023-AMD-301 through Week 104 or Study OTX-TKI-2023-AMD-303 through Week 96 * Have adequate ocular media and adequate pupillary dilation in the study eye to permit good quality fundus imaging * Are able and willing to comply with all study requirements and visits * Have provided written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Have significant intraocular or periocular infection (bacterial, viral, or fungal) in the study eye within 3 months prior to Day 1 * History of intraocular inflammation in the study eye * Have evidence of a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment or visually significant/severe epiretinal membrane, macular hole, tear of the retinal pigment epithelium in the macula, or other macular * Presence of an intercurrent illness or condition that in the opinion of the Investigator, may place the participant at an unacceptable risk, preventing the participant from completing the study or confound the interpretation of study results * Female participants who are pregnant (had a positive urine test at the Baseline visit \[Day 1\]) or breastfeeding or intend to become pregnant during the study, who are unwilling to use 2 forms of highly effective contraception from baseline until they exit the study or at least 3 months after the last study treatment, whichever is later.
