NCT Number: NCT07392255

An Optimised GA Interventional Trial (Opti-GAIN) to Test if Treatment With CTx001 is Safe and Works for People With Geographic Atrophy (GA)

This is a clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of CTx001, administered via a single subretinal injection, for GA (secondary to AMD).

Safety and efficacy will be measured at regular intervals for 2 years after which long-term safety will be assessed annually for up to 5 years.

Inclusion criteria

Meet protocol-defined age eligibility

Have bilateral geographic atrophy secondary to AMD, confirmed by the Reading Center

Meet baseline lesion size requirements, as assessed by fundus autofluorescence imaging

Meet best-corrected visual acuity and low-luminance visual acuity criteria, as measured by ETDRS charts

Meet retinal sensitivity criteria, as measured by microperimetry

Have sufficient fellow-eye visual function to ensure navigational vision

Have adequate historical SD-OCT imaging available for longitudinal assessment

Meet reproductive status and contraception requirements, where applicable

Be able and willing to provide informed consent and comply with study procedures

Exclusion criteria

Macular atrophy or retinal disease not attributable to AMD

Evidence of current or prior choroidal neovascularization (wet AMD)

Prior intraocular, macular, or retinal surgery or laser treatment that may confound assessments

Prior AMD-directed or intravitreal therapy in the study eye, except permitted supplements

Prior exposure to complement inhibitor therapies

Ocular conditions, infections, inflammation, or media opacities that interfere with safety or retinal imaging

Uncontrolled glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, or clinically significant refractive error

Aphakia or compromised posterior capsule, except as permitted by protocol

Systemic medical or psychiatric conditions that may increase risk or limit compliance

Recent participation in another interventional clinical study or exposure to investigational therapies

Any condition that, in the investigator's judgment, poses unacceptable risk or precludes safe participation
