The official eligibility criteria

Registry text, reproduced exactly. These are the words the trial's sponsor published on ClinicalTrials.gov. They have not been edited, shortened or rewritten, and they are written for researchers rather than for patients.

Inclusion Criteria:

Male or female participants ≥ 50 years of age.

* A diagnosis of GA secondary to AMD in at least one eye (study eye). If both eyes qualify, then the eye with the better BCVA would be assigned as study eye.

1. Total GA area must be ≥2.5 and ≤17.5 mm2 (1 and 7 disk areas (DA), respectively)

2. If GA lesion is multifocal, then the total lesion area must be between 2.5-17.5 mm2 and at least one lesion should have an area of at least 1.25 mm2

3. Entire GA lesion must be visualized on the macula centered image and not contiguous with peripapillary atrophy

* ETDRS BCVA ≥ 35 letters (20/200) in the study eye.

Exclusion Criteria:

* A history of, or current evidence of, choroidal neovascularization (exudative MNV) in the study eye.

* Previous cell or gene therapy in either eye.

* Macular atrophy in either eye due to a cause other than AMD, such as Stargardt disease, cone rod dystrophy, toxic maculopathies, etc.

* Intraocular surgery, including cataract and vitreoretinal surgery, in the study eye within 3 months prior to Baseline.

* Presence of significant media opacity, eye movement disorder (nystagmus), severe ptosis, extraocular motility restriction or head tremor, which in the opinion of the investigator, would prevent adequate fundus visualization or which in the opinion of the Reading Center could interfere with the assessment of study images.

Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.

Voxsanity reformats data from public registries into this layout. It does not edit, interpret or add to what the registry published.

Not medical advice.

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.
