A Phase 2 interventional study of Ixo-vec in Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration (nAMD) Wet AMD, sponsored by Adverum Biotechnologies, Inc.. Recruiting at 12 sites in United States. Open to participants aged 50 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-08-05.
Sponsored by Adverum Biotechnologies, Inc. · Phase 2, Interventional, and Treatment
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety, effectiveness and durability of a gene therapy called Ixo-vec (Ixoberogene soroparvovec) when administered to the contralateral (second) eye of adult participants (≥ 50 years of age) who have been diagnosed with bilateral neovascular (wet) age related macular degeneration (nAMD). The study will enroll adults with nAMD in both eyes, including participants who previously received Ixo-vec treatment in one (initial) eye and/or participants who will receive Ixo-vec treatment for the first time. This study focuses on how the treatment works when both eyes are treated at different times and how effective and long-lasting Ixo-vec treatment is in the second (contralateral) eye.
Participants will receive a single administration of Ixo-vec in the contralateral eye and will be followed for approximately 5 years to evaluate safety, efficacy and durability of contralateral treatment. Secondary objectives include assessments that will evaluate clinical activity, including visual and anatomic outcomes, as well as the need for supplemental anti-VEGF therapy.
The study is intended to provide additional information on the safety, tolerability, and use of Ixo-vec in bilateral treatment.
This is a Phase 2, single-arm, open-label, multi-center study in participants who are ≥ 50 years old with a diagnosis of bilateral choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to neovascular (wet) age related macular degeneration (nAMD). This study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Ixo-vec dosing in the contralateral (second) eye.
The study includes participants who have previously received Ixo-vec in one eye in a prior clinical study, as well as Ixo-vec-naïve participants eligible for sequential bilateral administration. The study will evaluate the use of Ixo-vec when both eyes are treated at different time points.
Neovascular AMD is a progressive retinal disease characterized by the growth of abnormal blood vessels originating from the choroid, which can lead to vision loss. Current standard of care includes repeated intravitreal (IVT) administration of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapies.
Ixo-vec (also known as Ixoberogene soroparvovec, ADVM-022 or AAV.7m8-aflibercept) is an adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene therapy designed to enable sustained intraocular expression of an anti-VEGF protein following a single IVT administration.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of Ixo-vec administered to the contralateral eye. Secondary objectives include assessments that will evaluate clinical activity, including visual and anatomic outcomes, as well as the need for supplemental anti-VEGF therapy over time.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.
The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.
A blood test of average blood sugar over the past two to three months, given as a percentage or in mmol/mol. 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) or more is the usual threshold for diabetes, normally confirmed by a second test.
A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.
Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.
Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.
