Study Summary

This trial tested if a drug could help slow growth of eye damage caused by a disease called geographic atrophy.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with a specific eye condition called non-subfoveal geographic atrophy due to age-related macular degeneration. The affected area must be visible and measurable, and their other eye should have minimal vision of counting fingers or better. People with active eye infections, certain retinal diseases, previous specific treatments in the study eye region, or history of retinal detachment cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing JNJ-81201887, an investigational drug delivered into the eye (intravitreal injection), against a sham procedure (a fake treatment that mimics the real procedure without delivering medication) to see if it slows down lesion growth in patients with geographic atrophy.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort from injections like redness or pain at the injection site, increased risk of infection inside the eye (endophthalmitis), possible inflammation within the eye structures, and elevated pressure inside the eyeball.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: Arm B: JNJ-81201887 High doseExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Participants will receive a single high dose intravitreal injection of JNJ-81201887 in the study eye on Day 4. In addition, participants will receive a 20-day oral prednisone course starting on Day 1 and a single, long acting periocular triamcinolone (corticosteroid injection) on Day 4 for prophylaxis of intraocular inflammation.
Group II: Arm A: JNJ-81201887 Low DoseExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Participants will receive a single low dose intravitreal injection of JNJ-81201887 in the study eye on Day 4. In addition, participants will receive a 20-day oral prednisone course starting on Day 1 and a single, long acting periocular triamcinolone (corticosteroid injection) on Day 4 for prophylaxis of intraocular inflammation.
Group III: Arm C: Sham ProcedurePlacebo Group2 Interventions
Participants will receive sham procedure that matches the single JNJ21801887 injection on Day 4, a sham procedure that matches the long acting periocular corticosteroid injection (triamcinolone) on Day 4 and a 20-day placebo matching oral prednisone starting on Day 1.

Why did patients apply to this trial?

Not only do I havr. I am currently receiving Eylea every 3 months and have developed geographical atrophy. My vision was controlled with the Eylea but has deteriorated in recent months to a point that I cannot drive, cannot read and have difficulty using a computer.
