Brief Summary:
A pilot study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral therapy with Postbiotics in patients with geographic atrophy secondary to age-related macular degeneration, myopia, or angioid streaks.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Geographic Atrophy Age-Related Macular Degeneration Dietary Supplement: postbiotics (IGENH35.3A) Dietary Supplement: vitamins (AREDS formulation and recommended daily dose) Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

A pilot study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral therapy with Postbiotics in patients with geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration, myopia or angioid streaks.

The study's main objective is to evaluate if oral postbiotic therapy will induce epigenetic factors that would impact the progression of the GA, and it will compare the rate of growth of GA from the Baseline to 12 months, to the rate shown during the 12 months before Baseline.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. rate of growth of geographic atrophy (GA) as per SQRT (square roor transformation) of area of GA measured in FAF, (fundus autofluorescence) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    rate of growth of GA as per SQRT of FAF area compared to rate of growth of the previous year

  2. safety and tolerability [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    safety and tolerability of daily dosing of oral postbiotics assessed by number of patients with clinically significant changes of a combination of ocular and/or non-ocular adverse events
