Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates have GA due to AMD, ETDRS VA of 35 letters or better in the study eye, clear media, adequate dilation, and well-demarcated GA suitable for imaging.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with non-study eye complications or comorbid retinal diseases or those not meeting the VA or imaging criteria may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a Phase 2 interventional trial assessing the safety and potential effectiveness of RO7965032 in participants with geographic atrophy caused by age-related macular degeneration. Eligible participants will have a starting visual acuity of at least 35 ETDRS letters in the study eye and well-demarcated GA with suitable ocular conditions for imaging. Participants will receive RO7965032 or placebo, with monitoring for safety and changes in vision and GA progression. The study is conducted at multiple retina specialty centers in the U.S., led by Genentech, Inc., and focuses on patients who meet specific ocular criteria while excluding those with certain retinal conditions or eye histories.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience slowed GA progression or stabilization of vision.
How similar studies have gone: Previous similar approaches in GA have shown signals of safety and potential activity, but this specific RO7965032 study is exploratory and results are not yet established.
