GEM: Phase I Dose Escalation Safety Study of RetinoStat in Advanced Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this first in man study is to examine the safety of an experimental gene transfer agent, RetinoStat, designed to treat neovascular age-related macular degeneration.

Phase 1 |
Detailed Description
There are two parts to the study. A dose-escalation phase looking at three doses of RetinoStat starting with the lowest dose, three patients will be recruited at each dose level. The escalation phase will be followed by a dose confirmation phase where the highest dose that is safe and well tolerated will be examined in 9 patients.
