New eye drug trial aims to slow vision loss from geographic atrophy
NCT ID NCT07230834
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early-stage study tests an experimental drug called pozelimab, given as an injection into the eye, for people with geographic atrophy (GA) — a condition where parts of the retina stop working, leading to vision loss. The main goal is to check the drug's safety and tolerability in 54 participants. Researchers will also measure how much drug stays in the body and whether the immune system reacts to it.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Key Inclusion Criteria: 1. Study eye with diagnosis of GA of the macula secondary to AMD, as determined by the investigator 2. Study eye with total GA area measuring approximately one disc area or greater in size (2.5 mm\^2 or larger) at screening, as determined by the Central Reading Center (CRC), as described in the protocol 3. Best-Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) of 60 letters or worse using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Score (ETDRS) charts (Snellen equivalent of \~ ≤20/63) in the study eye at screening and baseline visit Key Exclusion Criteria: 1. GA (macular atrophy) in either eye due to causes other than dry AMD 2. History or current evidence of macular neovascularization and/or retinal exudation in either eye 3. Concurrent eye disease (elevated Intraocular Pressure (IOP) \>25mm Hg, diabetic retinopathy, ocular infections/inflammation) 4. Prior or current intravitreal (IVT) treatment of any kind for any indication in either the study or fellow eye, except complement inhibitor therapy for GA, as long as last dose was ≥3 months prior to screening 5. Any prior systemic treatment for dry AMD, except oral supplements or vitamins 6. History or current use of systemic complement inhibitor therapy Note: Other protocol-defined Inclusion/ Exclusion criteria apply
