The Future of AMD and Geographic Atrophy: How Clinical Trials Are Paving the Way

Clinical trials are essential to advancing care for age‑related macular degeneration (AMD) and geographic atrophy (GA). In this episode, Mathew MacCumber, MD, PhD, explains how clinical trials work, the potential benefits and challenges of participation, and key factors to consider when deciding whether a trial may be right for you. The discussion will also include a high-level overview of the GALLOP clinical trial for GA and what current research means for the future of vision health. Macular Chats are a series of free, informative audio conversations hosted by Macular Degeneration Research, a BrightFocus Foundation program, dedicated to providing valuable insights and support for those affected by macular degeneration.
