An Optimised GA Interventional Trial (Opti-GAIN) to Test if Treatment With CTx001 is Safe and Works for People With Geographic Atrophy (GA)
(Opti-GAIN)
What this study is about
This is a clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of CTx001, administered via a single subretinal injection, for GA (secondary to AMD). Safety and effectiveness will be measured at regular intervals for 2 years after which long-term safety will be assessed annually for up to 5 years.

Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
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

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
