About this trial

This is a Phase 1/2 study, multi-center, dose-escalation interventional study of BS01 in subjects with GA secondary to dry AMD. Part 1 is an open label dose-escalation study; Part 2 is a dose-expansion study with dose(s) selected from Part 1 based on a benefit/risk assessment, and an untreated (sham injection) group to allow for a controlled comparison of efficacy and safety.

This is a seamless Phase 1/2 study in up to 10 patients for Phase 1 and 30 patients Phase 2 in patients with GA secondary to dry AMD.
