Genzyme’s Gene Therapy for the Treatment of Wet AMD
|
RECRUITING Description: Genzyme is conducting a Phase I clinical trial of gene therapy for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The treatment involves the delivery of a gene that produces a protein which halts the production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). VEGF is a protein that leads to the proliferation of leaky blood vessels underneath the retina that causes vision loss in wet AMD. An adeno-associated virus is used for gene delivery. As many as 34 participants will be enrolled in the study. Four doses of the treatment are being evaluated. Trial Status: Recruiting participants. Partial List of Participation Criteria:
