Age-Related Macular Degeneration | Drug: Active Comparator CT1812 Drug: Placebo Comparator | Phase 2 |
This is a Phase 2, prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled 104-week study to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of orally delivered CT1812 compared to placebo in participants with GA associated with dry AMD.
Participants ≥50 years old diagnosed with GA secondary to dry AMD and who meet all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be included in the study. The study will randomize up to 246 participants in a 1:1 manner (123 participants per treatment group) to receive a single daily dose of either CT1812 (200 mg) or placebo across approximately 40-50 sites.
Following a screening period of up to 28 days, the total expected duration of participant participation in the study will be 108 weeks (104-week treatment period followed by a 28-day [4-week] post treatment safety follow up period).
