Plain-language summary
This is a dose finding study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of danicopan in participants with GA secondary to AMD. The study consists of a Screening Period of up to 6 weeks, a 104-week masked Treatment Period, followed by a 30-day Follow-up after the last dose. This study will have 4 treatments arms: 100 milligrams (mg) twice daily (bid), 200 mg bid, 400 mg once daily (qd), and matching placebo.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Key Inclusion Criteria:
* Vaccination for Neisseria meningitidis.
* Capable of giving signed informed consent.
* Presentation of GA secondary to AMD in at least 1 eye
* The entire GA lesion must be \> 1 μm outside of the foveal center
Key Exclusion Criteria:
* GA in the study eye due to cause other than AMD.
* Have previously received intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections in study eye for intraocular vascular disease.
* Have previously received any stem cell/gene therapy for any ophthalmological condition in either eye.
* Use of any investigational medicinal product (ie, participation in interventional clinical studies for any ophthalmic indications) or use of any regulatory approved treatment for GA in the study eye regardless of route of administration within the last 3 months or 5 half-lives of the last dose of the investigational or commercial product (whichever is longer).
* Presence of active ocular diseases in the study eye that in the opinion of the Investigator compromises or confounds visual function or interferes with study assessments.
* Known or suspected complement deficiency.
* History or presence of any medical or psychological condition that, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for the study.
* Hypersensitivity to fluorescein sodium for injection, the investigational drug (danicopan) or any of its excipients.
Note: Additional inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply, per protocol.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
