Brief Summary:
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two doses of GT005 administered as a single subretinal injection in subjects with geographic atrophy secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Dry Age-related Macular Degeneration Drug: GT005: Medium Dose Drug: GT005: High Dose Phase 2

Detailed Description:

This is a Phase 2, open-label, outcomes-assessor masked, multicentre, randomised, controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two doses of GT005 administered as a single subretinal injection in subjects with GA secondary to AMD.

The trial includes a screening period of up to 8 weeks and a 96-week study period.

Subjects will be randomised to one of two groups; GT005 or the untreated control group.

Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Actual Enrollment : 255 participants
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Intervention Model Description: This is a Phase II, open-label, outcomes-assessor masked, multicentre, randomised, controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two doses of GT005 administered as a single subretinal injection in subjects with GA secondary to AMD.
