Oral Postbiotics in Patients With Macular Atrophy (REVERS-GA)

June 18, 2022 updated by: Institut de la Macula y la Retina

Pilot Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Oral Therapy With Postbiotics in Patients With Geographic Atrophy Secondary to Age-Related Macular Degeneration, Myopia, or Angioid Streaks

A pilot study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral therapy with Postbiotics in patients with geographic atrophy secondary to age-related macular degeneration, myopia, or angioid streaks.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

A pilot study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral therapy with Postbiotics in patients with geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration, myopia or angioid streaks.

The study's main objective is to evaluate if oral postbiotic therapy will induce epigenetic factors that would impact the progression of the GA, and it will compare the rate of growth of GA from the Baseline to 12 months, to the rate shown during the 12 months before Baseline.
