Brief Summary:
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravitreous administration of Zimura when administered in subjects with geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Geographic Atrophy Macular Degeneration Drug: Zimura Other: Sham Phase 2

Detailed Description:

Part 1: Approximately 66 subjects will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to the following dose groups:

  • Zimura Dose Administration 1
  • Zimura Dose Administration 2
  • Sham Administration 1

Part 2: Approximately 135 subjects will be randomized in a 1:2:2 ratio to the following dose groups:

  • Zimura Dose Administration 3
  • Zimura Dose Administration 4
  • Sham Administration 2

Subjects will receive monthly intravitreal injections of Zimura or Sham for 18 months.
