Could a bladder pill save your sight? new trial tests mirabegron for dry AMD
NCT ID NCT07305298
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether mirabegron, a drug used for overactive bladder, can help people with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Researchers will give 312 patients aged 50-80 either mirabegron or a standard bladder drug for 12 months and check for changes in the retina. The goal is to see if mirabegron can slow or improve the eye condition.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Mirabegron (50 mg daily)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment for dry AMD using an existing drug.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with no random assignment, so results may not be conclusive. The drug is not designed for eye disease and may not improve vision.
