A Clinical Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of SKG0106 in Patients With Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration (nAMD)

An Open-label, Dose-escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety, Preliminary Efficacy, Immunogenicity and Pharmacokinetic Characteristics of SKG0106 Intraocular Solution After Single Intravitreal Injection in Chinese Patients With Neovascular (Wet) Age-related Macular Degeneration

A Clinical Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of SKG0106 in Patients With Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration (nAMD) (NCT06213038) is a Phase 1 interventional studying Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration, sponsored by Youxin Chen. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

This is a clinical study to evaluate the safety, preliminary efficacy, immunogenicity of SKG0106 in subjects with nAMD.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 1 trials test a new treatment for the first time in humans, focusing on safety, dosing, and how the body processes the drug. For Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration, a Phase 1 study typically enrolls a small number of participants — often healthy volunteers or patients who have exhausted standard treatment options. Phase 1 results determine whether a treatment moves into larger Phase 2 efficacy studies.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

With a target enrollment of 12 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: 1. Voluntary and able to sign a dated ICF prior to any study-related procedures and able to complete the study as required by the protocol; 2. Aged ≥ 50 years at screening; Study Eye: 3. Diagnosis of nAMD as determined by the PI; 4. Active CNV lesions secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD); 5. Subjects must have been responsive to anti-VEGF therapy as assessed by the PI prior to study treatment Who Should NOT Join This Trial: 1. Any active intraocular or periocular infection or active intraocular inflammation (e.g., infectious conjunctivitis, keratitis, scleritis, endophthalmitis, infectious blepharitis, uveitis) in the study eye at baseline; 2. Retinal pigment epithelial tear in the study eye at screening; 3. Current vitreous hemorrhage in the study eye or history of vitreous hemorrhage within 4 weeks prior to baseline; 4. Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, may limit visual acuity improvement in the study eye; 5. History of retinal detachment or active retinal detachment in the study eye; 6. Any prior gene therapy. Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

How to Talk to Your Doctor About This Trial

Bring the printable summary of this trial — including the NCT ID (NCT06213038), the sponsor (Youxin Chen), and the key eligibility criteria — to your next appointment. Your doctor can review the inclusion and exclusion criteria against your medical history, lab values, and current treatments to assess whether you are likely to qualify. They can also help you weigh whether trial participation makes sense alongside your existing care plan.

Useful questions to walk through together: What does the trial protocol require beyond standard care? How long is the active treatment phase, and how long is follow-up? Are there study visits at sites I can reach? Who pays for the trial-specific procedures, and who pays for standard-of-care portions?

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the NCT06213038 clinical trial studying?

This is a clinical study to evaluate the safety, preliminary efficacy, immunogenicity of SKG0106 in subjects with nAMD. The full protocol is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov and includes the primary outcome measures, eligibility criteria, and study endpoints.

Who can participate in NCT06213038?

Eligibility for this trial depends on the specific inclusion and exclusion criteria set by the sponsor. The plain-English summary above translates the most important criteria into accessible language; the official clinical text is preserved in the collapsible section underneath. Whether you fit any specific trial is a medical decision your doctor needs to confirm — bring the trial information to your treating physician for a full review against your medical history.

How do I contact the trial site for NCT06213038?

Contact information registered with ClinicalTrials.gov is shown in the sidebar of this page. Before reaching out, confirm with your treating physician that this trial is appropriate for your situation. The trial site will then walk you through the screening process to determine final eligibility.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
