Study Overview: Astellas Pharma is conducting a Phase 3/4 clinical study titled ‘A Phase 3/4, Multicenter, Single-arm Clinical Study to Assess the Safety of Intravitreal Administration of ASP3021 in Participants in Japan With Geographic Atrophy Secondary to Age-related Macular Degeneration.’ The study aims to evaluate the safety and tolerance of ASP3021 eye injections in Japanese patients suffering from vision loss due to age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a condition that leads to the gradual loss of vision.

Intervention/Treatment: The study tests the drug avacincaptad pegol, administered as an intravitreal injection, intended to treat geographic atrophy secondary to AMD by potentially slowing the progression of vision loss.

Study Design: This interventional study follows a single-group assignment model with no masking, focusing on treatment. Participants will receive monthly injections of ASP3021 over a 12-month period, with regular health checks to monitor safety and tolerance.

Study Timeline: The study began on May 28, 2025, and is currently recruiting participants. The primary completion and estimated study completion dates have not been specified. The last update was submitted on June 22, 2025, indicating ongoing progress.

Market Implications: This study could significantly impact Astellas Pharma’s stock performance and investor sentiment, as successful results may enhance the company’s portfolio in the ophthalmology sector. Given the competitive landscape in AMD treatments, positive outcomes could position Astellas favorably against competitors.

The study is ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
