Where the trials are
Listed sites in each state and territory. Choose one to show only the trials with a site there, and choose it again to show them all.
1 listed site on this page does not say which state it is in, so the counts above are lower than the real number of sites in some states. The trials themselves are all listed below.
Trials for Macular Degeneration
24 of 24 trials shown.
This Australian count is likely to be on the low side. It counts the trials this site files under this condition; the registry’s own search is broader and also returns closely related conditions, some of which have their own page here. If you are searching widely, check the registry as well — every trial below links to its own record.

Trials overseas
291 trials for this condition are open to new participants outside Australia, as ClinicalTrials.gov listed them on 11 October 2026. Voxsanity does not publish a page for any of them; the searches below reach them at the registry.
These overseas counts are likely too high. They come from the registry’s own search, which expands a condition name to related conditions, so some of the trials counted are for a different disease in the same family.

About Macular Degeneration
The text below is reproduced exactly as its source published it. It has not been edited, shortened or rewritten.
Macular degeneration, or age-related macular degeneration (AMD), is a leading cause of vision loss in Americans 60 and older. It is a disease that destroys your sharp, central vision. You need central vision to see objects clearly and to do tasks such as reading and driving. AMD affects the macula, the part of the eye that allows you to see fine detail. It does not hurt, but it causes cells in the macula to die. There are two types: wet and dry. Wet AMD happens when abnormal blood vessels grow under the macula. These new blood vessels often leak blood and fluid. Wet AMD damages the macula quickly. Blurred vision is a common early symptom. Dry AMD happens when the light-sensitive cells in the macula slowly break down. You gradually lose your central vision. A common early symptom is that straight lines appear crooked. Regular comprehensive eye exams can detect macular degeneration before the disease causes vision loss. Treatment can slow vision loss. It does not restore vision. NIH: National Eye Institute

Individual trial records are refreshed on a rolling basis rather than all at once, so a record may be up to several weeks old. Each trial page and trial card shows the date its own record was last synced. Where a record has lagged, its status, sites and enrolment can differ from the current registry state in either direction, so check the registry link on the trial page before acting on them.
