This will be a non-randomized, open-label, Phase 1/2 study of the safety and efficacy of rAAV2tYF-PR1.7-hCNGB3 administered to one eye by subretinal injection in individuals with achromatopsia caused by mutations in the CNGB3 gene. The primary study endpoint will be safety and the secondary study endpoint will be efficacy.
A Multiple-Site, Phase 1/2, Safety and Efficacy Trial of a Recombinant Adeno-associated Virus Vector Expressing CNGB3 (rAAV2tYF-PR1.7-hCNGB3) in Patients With Congenital Achromatopsia Caused by Mutations in the CNGB3 Gene
This will be a non-randomized, open-label, Phase 1/2 study of the safety and efficacy of rAAV2tYF-PR1.7-hCNGB3 administered to one eye by subretinal injection in individuals with achromatopsia caused by mutations in the CNGB3 gene. The primary study endpoint will be safety and the secondary study endpoint will be efficacy. Subjects will be enrolled sequentially in seven dosing groups. Subjects in Groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 will be at least 18 years of age and will receive varying dose levels of study agent. Subjects in Groups 4a and 5a will be 6 to 17 years of age and will receive corresponding dose levels to the adult groups. Subjects in Group 7 will be at least 6 years of age and will receive the maximum tolerated dose identified in Groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 4a, 5, 5a, and 6. Safety will be monitored by evaluation of ocular and non ocular adverse events and hematology and clinical chemistry parameters. Efficacy parameters will include visual acuity, light discomfort testing, color vision, static visual field, ERG, adaptive optics retinal imaging and OCT.
