Eye drug safety check for advanced macular degeneration
NCT ID NCT05536297
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study checks the long-term safety of an eye injection called avacincaptad pegol for people with geographic atrophy, a form of advanced age-related macular degeneration that causes vision loss. About 278 adults who finished a previous study of this drug will receive the injection and be monitored for side effects over 18 months. The goal is to see if the drug is safe to use over time.
