Purpose of Study

The purpose of this study is to investigate NG101 AAV gene therapy in adults with wet age-related macular degeneration. NG101 is being developed as a novel one-time gene therapy for the treatment of wet AMD, a significant cause of vision loss in patients worldwide. Current standard of care therapies require life-long intraocular injections (typically repeated every four to 12 weeks) to maintain efficacy. Due to the burden of treatment, patients often experience a decline in vision with reduced frequency of treatment over time.

Eligible participants will have outpatient day surgery for administration of NG101 including pre-operative vitreous humor sample collection, followed by safety monitoring which will include blood tests, eye examination, vitreous humor sample collection, eye imaging procedures, physical examination, ECG, adverse events monitoring and questionnaires.
