A Phase IIb Randomized, Multicenter Trial of Subretinal CPCB-RPE1 in Advanced Dry AMD (Geographic Atrophy)
(PATCH-AMD)
What this study is about
This is a Phase IIb randomly assigned, clinical trial designed to assess the safety and effectiveness 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.

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
- Eligible participants include: 1. Age 55 to 90 years of age (inclusive), presenting with geographic atrophy involving the fovea in advanced, age-related, dry AMD. 2. Clinical findings consistent with advanced dry AMD with evidence of one or more areas of ≥4.0mm2 but not exceeding 10.0 mm2 of geographic atrophy involving the fovea. 3. Geographic atrophy defined as attenuation or loss of RPE as observed by biomicroscopy, OCT, or FAF. 4. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of the eye to receive the implant will be ≥20/200 (35 EDTRS letters) to 20/63 (60 EDTRS letters) inclusive. The BCVA of the eye that is NOT to receive the implant will be better or equal to the eye that will receive the implant. 5. Medically suitable to undergo pars plana vitrectomy and the surgical implant procedure, including being able to position post-operatively and use post-operative medications as required. 6. Medically suitable for general anesthesia or monitored intravenous sedation, if needed. 7. Pseudoph

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.
