Clinical Trials

Currently Enrolling Clinical Trials

Before deciding to participate in a clinical trial, you should talk to your physician. Clinical trial participants enroll to possibly receive the newest treatment for their conditions, as well as to have additional care and attention from clinical trial staff and to help researchers find better treatments for future patients.

In the United States, clinical trials must meet rigorous standards and be registered with the National Institutes of Health. Registered trials are listed at clinicaltrials.gov as part of a searchable database.

Participant requirements:

  • Age ≥ 70 years, male or female.
  • Documentation of vaccination for Neisseria meningitidis: All patients must be vaccinated against meningococcal infections within 3 years prior to, or at the time of, initiating study drug. Patients who initiate study drug treatment less than 2 weeks after receiving a meningococcal vaccine must receive treatment with appropriate prophylactic antibiotics until 2 weeks after vaccination.
  • For female patients, confirmation of non-childbearing potential based on follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) test at Screening only.
  • For nonsterile male patients, agreement to use a highly effective or acceptable method of contraception with their partner(s) of childbearing potential from the first day of dosing to 90 days after their last dose of study drug. Males who are surgically sterile do not need to employ additional contraception.
  • For male patients, agreement not to donate sperm while enrolled in this study and for 90 days after their last dose of study drug.

Wet AMD Trials

Opthea OPT-302-1004

A phase 3, multicentre, double-masked, randomised study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravitreal OPT-302 in combination with Ranibizumab, compared with Ranibizumab alone, in participants with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (NAMD).

Participant requirements:

  • Male or female participants at least 50 years of age.
  • Active subfoveal CNV lesion or juxtafoveal CNV lesion.*‍
  • An ETDRS BCVA score between 60 and 25 (inclusive) letters in the Study Eye.

REGENXBIO RGX-314-2104

RGX-314 is being developed as a novel one-time gene therapy for the treatment of neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD). This randomized, partially masked, controlled, phase 2b/3 clinical study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of RGX-314 gene therapy in participants with nAMD. The study will evaluate 2 dose levels of RGX-314 relative to an active comparator.

Participant requirements:

  • Age ≥ 50 years and ≤ 89 years
  • An ETDRS BCVA letter score between ≤ 78 and ≥ 40 in the study eye
  • Diagnosis of subfoveal CNV secondary to AMD in the study eye previously treated with anti-VEGF
  • Must be pseudophakic (at least 12 weeks post cataract surgery) in the study eye.

Uveitis Trials

Eyepoint Yutiq EYP-YUT-0001

A retrospective registry study to collect real-world data on Yutiq, a fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal implant, for the treatment of chronic non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment. The purpose of the study is to collect data on a cohort of patients treated with fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal inserts for the analysis of efficacy outcomes and adverse events and to determine local or systemic factors which might predict treatment response and identify adverse safety events.

Participant requirements:

  • Patients with chronic, non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye
  • Men and women ≥ 18 years old
