New eye drug IZERVAY under Real-World watch: will it slow vision loss?
NCT ID NCT06779773
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 18, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study follows 500 people with geographic atrophy, an advanced form of age-related macular degeneration that causes permanent vision loss. Participants receive avacincaptad pegol (IZERVAY) as part of their routine care. Researchers will collect data on treatment patterns, side effects, and patient-reported outcomes over up to 5 years to see how the drug performs in real-world settings.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- avacincaptad pegol (IZERVAY)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could provide valuable information on how avacincaptad pegol works in everyday medical practice, helping doctors better manage geographic atrophy.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may be influenced by differences in patient care and may not apply to all patients.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in 1 or both eyes * Patient with a decision to treat with intravitreal avacincaptad pegol (ACP) prior to enrollment * Patient willingness to complete the patient reported outcome (PRO). Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who have any contraindication or are not eligible for treatment with ACP, including the following: * Active ocular or peri-ocular infection in either eye * Active, suspected intraocular inflammation in either eye * Hypersensitive to ACP or to any ingredient in the formulation * Patients currently participating in an investigational program with interventions outside of routine clinical practice. * Patients who have received ACP in the eye being considered for enrollment.
