Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a single sub-retinal injection of AAV8-RPGR in subjects with XLRP;Secondary Objective: Not applicable;Primary end point(s): Part I: The primary safety endpoints are the incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) over a 24-month period. Part II: The primary efficacy endpoint is improvement from Baseline in microperimetry.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Part I: Incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) over a 24-month period. Part II: Microperimetry will be assessed at regular intervals throughout the study.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Part I: Secondary and Exploratory Endpoints: •Change from baseline in microperimetry at regular intervals throughout the study •Change from baseline in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at regular intervals throughout the study Part II: Secondary Endpoints: • The safety endpoint is incidence of TEAEs over a 12-month period. • Change from baseline in microperimetry at regular intervals throughout the study. • Change from baseline in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at regular intervals throughout the year. • Other secondary and exploratory ophthalmology endpoints are assessed at regular intervals throughout the study. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Part I - Secondary and Exploratory Endpoints: •Microperimetry at regular intervals throughout the study •BCVA at regular intervals throughout the study •Other secondary and exploratory ophthalmology endpoints are assessed at regular intervals throughout the study. Part II - Secondary and Exploratory Endpoints: •Microperimetry at regular intervals throughout the study •BCVA at regular intervals throughout the study •Other secondary and exploratory ophthalmology endpoints are assessed at regular intervals throughout the study.
