ODYSSEY Trial Summary

This trial assesses safety and effectiveness of an injection to treat age-related macular degeneration in people previously treated with a standard of care.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with a specific eye condition called neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) who have had 2-4 previous anti-VEGF injections. Their vision in the study eye should be within a certain range, and they must have responded to prior treatments. They can't join if they have other major eye issues or very thick retinal or subretinal layers.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests CLS-AX given behind the retina against Aflibercept, an existing treatment injected into the eyeball. It's to see which is better at treating nAMD over 36 weeks. Participants are randomly assigned to one of these two groups and won't know which treatment they're getting.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include discomfort at the injection site, inflammation inside the eye, changes in vision, bleeding inside the eye, and increased pressure within the eyeball. The exact side effects will depend on individual reactions.
