New eye drug SCT520FF hopes to tackle wet AMD
NCT ID NCT06672536
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests an experimental drug called SCT520FF for wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss. About 82 adults aged 45 to 80 will receive either SCT520FF or an existing treatment (EYLEA) via eye injections. Researchers will check safety, side effects, and whether the drug improves vision and reduces retinal swelling.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- SCT520FF (an experimental drug injected into the eye)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for wet AMD, potentially improving vision and reducing the need for frequent eye injections.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with only 82 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may cause side effects or fail to improve vision better than existing treatments.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Signed informed consent form. 2. Age≥45 years, ≤80 years,male or femal. 3. The study eye must meet the following criteria: Diagnosis of nAMD;Active MNV lesions secondary to nAMD; Total area of all types of lesions ≤12 optic disc areas; BCVA of the study eye 73\~19 letters. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Macular-related retinal pigment epithelial tears in the study eye; scar, fibrosis, atrophy or dense subfoveal exudation involving the fovea in the study eye. 2. Significant APD or opacity of the refractive medium and miosis in the study eye that affect visual acuity or fundus examination. 3. Aphakia (except intraocular lens) or posterior capsular rupture of the lens in the study eye. 4. The study eye has any eye diseases or medical history other than nAMD that may affect central vision and/or macular examine. 5. MNV caused by non-nAMD exists in the study eye . 6. Active inflammation or infection in either eye before randomization. 7. Known allergy to any component of the study intervention or history of allergy to fluorescein or indocyanine green, any anesthetics or antimicrobial agents used during the course of the study. 8. Abnormal liver and kidney function. 9. Poorly-controlled blood pressure before randomization. 10. History of a cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, including myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, cerebrovascular accidents (including TIA), other thromboembolic diseases (such as thromboembolic angiitis, etc) within 6 months before randomization. 11. Evidence of significant uncontrolled concomitant diseases. 12. Participated in any drug (other than vitamins and minerals) or device clinical trials within 3 months or the duration of 5 half-lives of the study drug (which is longer) before randomization and have used the test drug or received device treatment. 13. Pregnant, lactating women who can not take contraceptive measures during the trial.
