Gene therapy shot aims to tame wet AMD
NCT ID NCT07053358
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early study tests a single injection of LX111 gene therapy in 10 people aged 50 or older with wet age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). The goal is to see if it is safe and can help control the disease, possibly reducing the need for frequent eye injections. Participants must have already responded to standard anti-VEGF treatment.
