Gene Therapy(FT-003) for Wet AMD

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of disposable vitreous injection of FT-003 in subjects with neovascular age-related Macular Degeneration (nAMD). The study was divided into two phases, Phase 1 dose escalation and Phase II dose expansion.

FT-003 is a gene therapy product developed for the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). Neovascular AMD is the main cause of blindness among elderly individuals. The available therapies for treating nAMD require life-long intravitreal (IVT) injections every 4-12 weeks to maintain efficacy. Administration of FT-003 has the potential to treat nAMD by providing durable expression of therapeutic levels of intraocular protein and maintaining the vision of patients. FT-003 is designed to reduce the current treatment burden which often results in undertreatment and vision loss in patients with nAMD receiving anti-VEGF therapy in clinical practice.
