Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a prospective, randomized study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ORACEA® in the treatment of geographic atrophy due to dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Eligible participants will complete a 6-month Observation Phase, followed by a 24-month Treatment Phase, followed by an End of Study Visit. Eligible participants will be randomized at Month 6 in a 1:1 ratio to either ORACEA (40 mg doxycycline) or placebo capsule to be taken once-daily for 24 months. Over the course of the 31-month study, a total of 9 clinic visits and 3 telephone calls are required.
