Brief Summary

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

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of intravitreal injections of galegenimab (FHTR2163) administered every 4 weeks (Q4W) or every 8 weeks (Q8W) for approximately 76 weeks in participants with geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) compared with sham control. After completing the study's last visit (Week 76), eligible participants will have the option to enroll in open-label extension study NCT04607148 (GR42558) and receive open-label galegenimab (FHTR2163) injections.

* Well-demarcated area of GA secondary to AMD with no evidence of prior or active choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in either eye.

Exclusion Criteria

* History of vitrectomy surgery, submacular surgery, or any surgical intervention for AMD;
* Previous laser photocoagulation or ITV anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) for CNV, diabetic macular edema, retinal vein occlusion, or proliferative diabetic retinopathy.


* GA in either eye due to causes other than AMD;
* Active uveitis and/or vitritis (grade trace or above) in either eye;
* Active, infectious conjunctivitis, keratitis, scleritis, or endophthalmitis in either eye;
* Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) tear that involves the macula in either eye;
* Previous participation in interventional clinical trials for GA or dry AMD, except for vitamins and minerals, regardless of the route of administration (i.e., ocular or systemic) within the last 6 months.
