Summary
This trial is testing a gene therapy product, ADVM-022, for the treatment of neovascular or wet age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). The product is designed to reduce the current treatment burden which often results in undertreatment and vision loss in patients with nAMD receiving anti-VEGF therapy in clinical practice.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for people over 50 with wet age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) who've had at least 2-3 anti-VEGF injections in the past 4-6 months. They must have shown improvement from these treatments and have a certain level of vision acuity. Those with uncontrolled diseases, recent eye infections or surgeries, or other retinal issues can't participate.
What is being tested?
ADVM-022, a gene therapy product designed to reduce treatment frequency for nAMD by providing sustained release of aflibercept after one injection. The study aims to see if this single treatment can maintain or improve patients' vision compared to regular anti-VEGF injections.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not explicitly listed but may include typical risks associated with intravitreal injections such as eye inflammation, infection risk increase, bleeding complications, and possibly immune reactions due to the gene therapy aspect.
