NCT ID NCT06961370
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This early-stage study tests the safety of an experimental drug called RO7669330, given as an injection into the eye, for people with geographic atrophy (GA) due to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The study involves 27 participants and will monitor side effects and eye health. The goal is to see if the drug is safe enough for further testing.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adequately clear ocular media, adequate pupillary dilation, and fixation to allow acquisition of good quality fundus imaging * GA that resides completely within the fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging field * Presence of hyperautofluorescence of either banded or diffuse pattern adjacent to the GA area on FAF * Study eye has early treatment of diabetic retinopathy study (ETDRS) best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) score as follows: * Part 1A: 19 to 48 letters, inclusively * Part 1B: \> 19 letters * Part 2: ≥ 24 letters * Total GA lesion size must be as follows: * Parts 1A and 1B: ≥ 1.25 square millimeter (mm\^2) and ≤ 20 mm\^2 ) * Part 2: ≥ 2.5 mm\^2 and ≤ 20 mm\^2 Exclusion Criteria: Ocular Exclusion Criteria for the Study Eye: * Aphakic or pseudophakic with intraocular lens outside of the capsular bag * Previous laser photocoagulation or IVT anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) for CNV, diabetic macular edema (DME), retinal vein occlusion (RVO), or proliferative diabetic retinopathy * Active or history of CNV Ocular Exclusion Criteria for the Non-Study Eye: \- Non-functioning non-study eye, defined as either: BCVA of hand motion or worse and/or no physical presence of eye Ocular Exclusion Criteria for Both Eyes: * Macular atrophy in either eye due to causes other than AMD * Part 2: Evidence of prior or active CNV * Prior treatment with any approved therapy for GA (Syfovre, Izervay) in either eye for Part 1A and Part 2 ≤ 20 weeks prior to Day 1.
