Brief summary

This study is meant to assess the safety and efficacy of rAAV2-ND4 treatment of Leber hereditary optic neuropathy with 11778 LHON mutation.

Detailed description

Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) is a maternally inherited ocular disorder associated with a mutation in mtDNA . The common manifestation is visual loss which caused by the respiratory chain enzymes complex dysfunction resulting in increased oxidative stress enzymes production. Material and Method Seven patients with 11778 LHON mutation were randomly treated with a Single IVT Injection of recombinant Adeno-Associated Virus-NADH dehydrogenase, subunit 4 (complex I)(rAAV2-ND4)(0.05ml).The dose was 5 × 10\^9 vg/0.05 mL for patients younger than 12 years old, and 1 × 10\^10 vg/0.05 mL for patients older than 12 years old. The visual acuity, visual evoked potential (VEP),optical coherence tomography( OCT), computerized visual field, electroretinograms(ERG), retinal nerve fiber layer(RNFL)and Liver and kidney function in plasma were compared before and after treatment at 1,3,and 6, months interval.

The Best Corrected Visual Acuity(BCVA)

Time frame: Up to 3 years

Population: The data are expressed as mean±standard error. Comparisons before and after treatment of the BCVA were analyzed using the paired t-test.A probability (P) value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Lower logMAR represents a better outcome.
