NCT ID NCT04690556
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new medication, LUBT010, against the standard drug Lucentis for people with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss. Six hundred participants received monthly injections into the eye for one year. The goal was to see if LUBT010 works just as well and is as safe as Lucentis in improving or maintaining eyesight.
