About this trial

This is a Phase IIb randomized, clinical trial designed to assess the safety and efficacy 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. Twenty-four (24) subjects will participate in the trial and will be randomized 3:1 to one of 2 groups:

* The treatment group receiving the CPCB-RPE1 implant (up to 18 subjects). * The control group receiving a simulated "sham" implantation procedure (up to 6 subjects)

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Age 55 to 90 years of age (inclusive), presenting with geographic atrophy involving the fovea in advanced, age-related, dry AMD.

Clinical findings consistent with advanced dry AMD with evidence of one or more areas of ≥4.0mm2 but not exceeding 15.0 mm2 of geographic atrophy involving the fovea.

Geographic atrophy defined as attenuation or loss of RPE as observed by biomicroscopy, OCT, or FAF.

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.
