Clinical Trial Summary

This is a Phase II/III,vehicle controlled, double masked, single center study. A single eye of 60 individuals with mild to moderate non-exudative Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) will be randomly assigned to receive either topical 1% MC-1101 or a vehicle control over 2 years. The study design will assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of MC-1101 for these patients.

An analysis of the primary and secondary endpoints will be conducted when all subjects have completed Baseline, 1, 3, 6, 12,18 and 24 months.


Description:

MC-1101is a topically administered drug which in previous clinical studies has been proven to get to the back of the eye. MC-1101is a 505 (b) 2 compound and has FDA Fast Track Status. It is a strong, vasoactive drug which is intended to increase choroidal blood flow.
