Geographic Atrophy

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the abnormal growth of new blood vessels in the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye called the retina. Geographic Atrophy (GA) is an advanced form of dry AMD. The purpose of this study is to assess the adverse events and how intravitreal ABBV-6628 moves through the body of adult participants with secondary to age-related macular degeneration ABBV-6628 is an investigational monoclonal antibody fragment being developed for the treatment of geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to (AMD) age-related macular degeneration. Participants in the Stage 1 part will be placed in 1 of 4 groups, called treatment arms. Participants in Stage 2 will be placed into 1 of 2 groups. Each group receives different treatment. Adult participants aged 50 and older years with a diagnosis GA secondary to age-related macular degeneration will be enrolled. Around 66 participants will be enrolled in the study at approximately 27 sites across the US. Participants in Stage 1 will be given ABBV-6628 as an intravitreal injection (injection into the jelly-like tissue that fills the eyeball injection) with dose escalation. Participants in Stage 2 will receive ABBV-6628 or SYFOVRE, an approved treatment for geographic atrophy, administered as per the FDA-approved label. The treatment duration is approximately 22 months and 3 months of follow-up. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular weekly visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

This study is for people who have geographic atrophy due to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). AMD happens when the macula, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye called the retina, becomes damaged and causes a person's central vision to worsen. Geographic atrophy is an advanced form of AMD where cells in the retina waste away and die. Over time this can lead to permanent loss of vision. Avacincaptad pegol can help slow down the worsening or progression of geographic atrophy. Avacincaptad pegol is a treatment approved in the US to treat geographic atrophy. This study is about collecting information on how people with geographic atrophy are treated in routine clinical practice. This includes recording any medical problems from avacincaptad pegol. This is known as an observational study. Information will be collected from the peoples' medical records during and after treatment. The people in this study will have geographic atrophy in 1 or both eyes and they and their doctor have decided they will be treated with avacincaptad pegol. The individual's doctor decides on treatment, not the study sponsor (Astellas). People that want to take part in the study will have eye examinations that they would usually have as part of their routine care. People will also be asked to complete surveys about their eye health. These surveys will occur when treatment starts and then every 6 months for the first 2 years. After 2 years the surveys will happen once a year. The people on the study can take part if their doctor provides treatment with avacincaptad pegol and they want to continue with the study. The people on the study can take part for around 5 years.

This is a sequential Phase 1/2, two-part, multicenter study on safety, tolerability, and efficacy of one-time intravitreal SAR446597 for the treatment of participants with Geographic Atrophy (GA) secondary to Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). The core phase duration will be approximately 2 years for each participant. An Extended Follow-Up (EFU) phase of 3 years follows the core phase. The treatment is a one-time intravitreal injection of SAR446597 (or sham as applicable in Part II).

Background: Age-related macular degeneration is a common eye disease in people over 50. The "dry" form of the disease can worsen into geographic atrophy, causing blind spots. Researchers want to learn if replacing older eye cells with younger ones can help treat this disease. Objective: To test the safety of putting cells inside the eye as a possible future treatment for dry age-related macular degeneration. Eligibility: People ages 55 and older who have geographic atrophy with loss of vision. People who have had "wet" macular degeneration in study eye are NOT eligible. Design: Participants will be screened with: * Medical history * Physical exam * Blood and urine tests * Eye exam * Eye photos * Fluorescein angiography. An intravenous (IV) line is placed in an arm vein. A dye is injected. A camera takes pictures of the dye as it flows through the eyes' blood vessels. * Electroretinography. An electrode is taped to participants' forehead. They sit in the dark. After 30 minutes, numbing eye drops and contact lenses are placed in their eyes. They watch flashing lights. * Tuberculosis test * Chest X-ray * Electrocardiography. Sticky pads are placed on participants' chest to record the heart's electrical activity. Participants will have at least 14 study visits over 5 and a half years. They will repeat screening tests. Participants will have retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) transplantation surgery in one eye. For this, cells from participants' blood are turned into RPE cells. These cells are placed in their eye through a cut in their retina. They will get dilating eye drops, an IV line, and anesthesia that may make them sleep. A gas bubble will be put in their eye to help it heal. Participants will receive immunosuppressive medications to avoid transplant rejection. Participants will be contacted yearly for up to 15 years.

This study will evaluate the success and safety of subretinal surgical delivery as well as the preliminary activity of OpRegen in participants with geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). All endpoints are assessed for the study eye unless otherwise indicated. The substudy will evaluate the operational feasibility and scientific interpretability of incorporating AO retinal imaging using the EarlySight Cellularis® Discovery device. Participants who have fulfilled the eligibility requirements for the parent study and meet the substudy's eligibility criteria will have the option to participate in the substudy. The EarlySight Cellularis® Discovery device will be used only as an assessment tool and data obtained from this device will not be used to guide clinical care or influence clinical outcomes for participants.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of pterygopalatine ganglion (PPG) stimulation in adults with geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The main questions it aims to answer are: Is PPG stimulation feasible to implement, as reflected by participant adherence to the intervention and completion of follow-up assessments? Is PPG stimulation safe, as assessed by the incidence of adverse events and clinical ophthalmic examinations? What are the preliminary effects of PPG stimulation on choroidal perfusion, retinal sensitivity, visual acuity, and the progression of GA lesion area? Researchers will compare active PPG stimulation with sham stimulation (a procedure that mimics the intervention without delivering real stimulation) to assess feasibility and safety, while exploring potential therapeutic effects. Participants will: Receive active or sham PPG stimulation according to randomization over a 12-month study period Attend scheduled clinic visits for safety monitoring and multimodal ophthalmic assessments Undergo examinations including optical coherence tomography (OCT), fundus autofluorescence imaging, microperimetry, and visual acuity testing

Studying the morphology and function of the normal and diseased retina in vivo is needed for advancing the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of retinal disease. This protocol uses an adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscope (AOSLO) to image the normal and diseased retina with individual cellular resolution non-invasively. The primary objective of this study is to obtain and analyze high-resolution images of the retina, in particular by imaging the cone photoreceptor mosaic, the retinal vasculature and other retinal layers. The study design will involve case-control studies, where cases are followed over time. Subjects age 7 and older may be invited to participate. The main research procedure involves retinal imaging with the AOSLO. The primary endpoint is the observation of differences in retinal images between subjects with and without retinal diseases. These changes will be quantified by examining the cell density, size, spacing and regularity of the cone photoreceptor mosaic, as well as examining the differences between other retinal layers.

This study is being conducted to assess two imaging methods-central microperimetry and radial OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography)-in patients with Geographic Atrophy (GA) or those who are at risk of developing this condition. The study team is trying to determine whether these methods can provide more accurate measurements of GA progression toward the foveal center, the central part of the retina responsible for your sharpest, most detailed vision.

This is a Phase IIb randomized, clinical trial designed to assess the safety and efficacy of unilateral implantation of the CPCB-RPE1 implant in subjects with geographic atrophy involving the fovea. Up to 6 surgical implantation sites will deliver the CPCB-RPE1 in this Phase IIb clinical trial. Additional study sites may serve as referral or follow-up sites. Twenty-four (24) subjects will participate in the trial and will be randomized 3:1 to one of 2 groups: * The treatment group receiving the CPCB-RPE1 implant (up to 18 subjects). * The control group receiving a simulated "sham" implantation procedure (up to 6 subjects)

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in industrialized countries and affects tens of millions of people worldwide, with a rapidly increasing prevalence. It causes irreversible central vision loss and significant difficulties in daily activities, impairing patients' quality of life and independence. Conventional clinical assessments, which focus on visual acuity and retinal imaging, do not fully reflect the functional impact of the disease. Virtual reality (VR) makes it possible to create immersive, controlled environments to accurately measure functional vision and simulate real-life situations. The study proposes to develop a standardized and reproducible functional test in virtual reality that can complement conventional examinations and support clinical and industrial research.

The main retinal diseases, whether or not associated with specific mutations genetic, cause progressive degeneration of vascular retinal structures and not vascular, resulting in decreased visual function. Often, such diseases affect the noblest part of the retina, called macula. Many retinal diseases can be complicated by choroidal neovascularization which causes frequent bleeding and fluid leakage that accumulates in the subretinal and intraretinal spaces. Although the investigators know many details of each disease affecting the retina, very often the correct diagnostic framework can be complicated, given the presence of morphological elements common to the different pathologies. Similarly, predicting the effect of treatment and the patient's outcome is a constant challenge for the ophthalmologists. Most of the current research has been focused on the assessment of vascular alterations localized in the macula. However, growing evidence highlight the importance of peripheral vascular changes on the outcome of retinal diseases. These changes can be detected only be wide field OCT devices. On the other hand, ocular inflammation and hyperemia represent major assessments in anterior segment disorders, such as dry eye disease. The current grading systems of ocular inflammation, redness and hyperemia are characterized by several limitations, thus making these evaluations still mainly confined to the subjective assessment performed by the ophthalmologist. However, the new generation OCT devices may include also an anterior segment module which can reconstruct anterior segment vessels, non-invasively, using the same technology described for retinal diseases. The main goal of the study is to evaluate the diagnostic contribution of a new generation wide field OCTA device in ocular diseases, which has recently received CE marking. In particular, the investigators will evaluate this new generation device both in retinal and anterior segments diseases, testing for common points and differences with the standard of care non-invasive diagnostic devices. Secondary outcomes include the assessment of the correlation between the patient's visual function (visual acuity) and morphological changes (standard of care imaging assessment) highlighted by the wide field OCT device, with particular attention to microstructural differences between major ocular diseases and the possible development of non-invasive biomarkers, useful for the diagnosis and follow-up of such pathologies.

The goal of this prospective, multinational, multicenter observational study is to assess and predict progression in non-foveal, non-vision compromising atrophic AMD on an individual-based level over two years. The main objectives of this study are: * Assess the individual progression rate of a patient in non-foveal, non-vision compromising atrophic AMD and assess personalized risk of progression based on imaging. * Identify and quantify focal and global alterations in the retina in regard to disease progression. * Evaluate the monitoring of AMD progression using approved AI algorithms. All patients will be followed for 24 months with 6 month intervals to assess clinical changes. Monitoring of disease progression will be performed using the following routine in-vivo imaging procedures: * Scanning Laser Fundus Photography * Color Fundus Photography (CFP) * Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) * Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) Patients will be asked for their medical history. Standard ophthalmic examination, as well as a questionnaire on visual function will be carried out. No intervention will be performed during the study since no treatment is yet available within Europe. As soon as treatment is approved in the EU, patients in this cohort might receive treatment according to availability in their respective country and standard of care. If treatment will be performed, it will be as standard of care outside the study according to each country's standard of care and by EMA label.

The goal of this observational study is to assess the reliability and validity of the 9-object MLSDT for evaluation of participants with moderate to severe vision impairment when tested without a wearable low-vision magnifying aid (eGlasses) and then with eGlasses.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible vision loss worldwide, and nearly two million Australians have some signs of AMD. This proposed project is a prospective, observational study that seeks to to understand the underlying aetiology of AMD, factors associated with differences between age-related macular degeneration (AMD) phenotypes or severities, or between AMD and healthy individuals. It also seeks to understand the natural history of AMD progression and the factors associated with the rate of progression. In this project, the disease phenotype, genotype and severity and rate of progression will be determined based on non-invasive clinical imaging or functional assessment of the retina, from obtaining biological samples from the participants, or from patient-reported outcomes.
