ArMaDa Trial Summary

This trial will assess the safety and effectiveness of a potential treatment for vision loss due to Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 50 or older with a specific eye condition called Geographic Atrophy due to Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration. Participants must have certain levels of vision and specific characteristics in their eye imaging. Those who've had recent investigational treatments, gene or cell therapies, or treatment with Syfovre are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of OCU410 in treating Geographic Atrophy. It's a two-phase study involving up to 63 subjects across multiple centers, aiming to see how well this new intervention works compared to current standards.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
As this is an early phase trial (Phase 1/2), detailed side effects of OCU410 are not yet fully known but will be closely monitored throughout the study for any adverse reactions related to the eyes or general health.

6Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Phase1 Dose Escalation- Medium Dose (5×10E10 vg/mL):Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Medium Dose (5×10E10 vg/mL): Subjects will receive a subretinal injection of OCU410 in the medium dose concentration.
Group II: Phase1 Dose Escalation- Low Dose (2.5×10E10 vg/mL):Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Low Dose (2.5×10E10 vg/mL): Subjects will receive a subretinal injection of OCU410 in the low dose concentration.
Group III: Phase1 Dose Escalation- High Dose (1.5×10E11 vg/mL):Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
High Dose (1.5×10E11 vg/mL): Subjects will receive a subretinal injection in the high dose concentration.
Group IV: Phase 2 Dose Expansion: Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) from Phase 1-Randomized ArmExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) from Phase 1: Subjects will receive a subretinal injection in the MTD concentration.
Group V: Phase 2 Dose Expansion: Lower Dose from Phase 1-Randomized ArmExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects will receive a subretinal injection of OCU410 in a Lower Dose concentration.
Group VI: Control ArmActive Control1 Intervention
No Intervention Control Arm: Subject will not receive any active study intervention
