Disease: Blindness, Leber Congenital Amaurosis, (NCT03872479)

Disease info:

Leber congenital amaurosis is an eye disorder that primarily affects the retina, which is the specialized tissue at the back of the eye that detects light and color. People with this disorder typically have severe visual impairment beginning in infancy.

Frequency:
Leber congenital amaurosis occurs in 2 to 3 per 100,000 newborns. It is one of the most common causes of blindness in children.
Official title:
Open-Label, Single Ascending Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of AGN-151587 (EDIT-101) in Adult and Pediatric Participants With Leber Congenital Amaurosis Type 10 (LCA10), With Centrosomal Protein 290 (CEP290)-Related Retinal

Type of edit:
Gene correction
Gene:
Centrosomal Protein 290 (CEP290)
Delivery method:

Description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a single escalating doses of AGN-151587 (EDIT-101) administered via subretinal injection in participants with LCA10 caused by a homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation involving c.2991+1655A>G in intron 26 of the CEP290 gene ("LCA10-IVS26"). AGN-151587 is a novel gene editing product designed to eliminate the mutation on the CEP290 gene that results in the retinal degeneration that defines LCA10-IVS26.
