New treatment option for Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration (nAMD) Wet AMD
Official title Ixoberogene Soroparvovec (Ixo-vec) Contralateral Dosing Study in Participants With Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07630649
What this study is testing
What is Ixo-vec?
Ixo-vec is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (namd) wet amd.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety, effectiveness and durability of a gene therapy called Ixo-vec (Ixoberogene soroparvovec) when administered to the contralateral (second) eye of adult participants (≥ 50 years of age) who have been diagnosed with bilateral neovascular (wet) age related macular degeneration (nAMD). The study will enroll adults with nAMD in both eyes, including participants who previously received Ixo-vec treatment in one (initial) eye and/or participants who will receive Ixo-vec treatment for the first time.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- Time commitment: about 5 years
