Bietti Crystalline Dystrophy

Brief summary

A Multicenter, Open-Label, Non-Randomized, Uncontrolled Study of VGR-R01 in Patients with Bietti Crystalline Dystrophy.

Detailed description

VGR-R01 is a novel AAV vector carrying the human CYP4V2 coding sequence. This study is intended to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single subretinal administration of VGR-R01. All subjects will undergo at least 52 weeks of safety observation and will be encouraged to enroll in an extension study to evaluate the long-term safety of VGR-R01 for a total of five years.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants with Clinically Significant Change from Baseline in Ophthalmic Examination FindingsBaseline up to Week 52Ophthalmic Examination will include BCVA, IOP, slitlamp examination, angiography and SD-OCT, etc. If any potential changes accompanied by clinical symptoms, or results in a change of medical intervention, the findings will be considered as clinically significant based on investigator's decision.
Incidence of adverse eventsBaseline up to Week 52An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a product; the event will not need to have a causal relationship with the treatment.
Incidence of serious adverse eventsBaseline up to Week 52A serious adverse event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence at any dose that resulted in death; life threatening; require inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; result in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; result in congenital anomaly/birth defect.
Number of Participants with Clinically Significant Change from Baseline in Vital SignsBaseline up to Week 52Vital signs (temperature, respiratory rate, pulse rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure) will be obtained with participant in the seated position, after having sat calmly for at least 5 minutes. Clinical significance of vital signs will be determined at the investigator's discretion.
Number of Participants with Clinically Laboratory AbnormalitiesBaseline up to Week 52Laboratory Tests will include hematology, coagulation, blood chemistry, urinalysis, serology, and pregnancy test, etc. If any potential changes accompanied by clinical symptoms, or results in a change of medical intervention, the findings will be considered as clinically significant based on investigator's decision.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Changes from baseline in Mobility testing scoresWeek 52The mobility score range is between -1 (the worst functional vision) and 6 (the best).
Best-Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA)Week 52BCVA will be assessed for both eyes using the Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) visual acuity (VA) chart. BCVA test should be performed prior to pupil dilation, and distance refraction should be carried out before BCVA is measured.
Changes from baseline of Visual Field Index (%) in Visual Field (Humphery perimetry) indexesWeek 52The VFI can range from 100% (normal visual field) to 0% (perimetrically blind field).
Changes from baseline of Mean Deviation (dB) in Visual Field (Humphery perimetry) indexesWeek 52Normal values are typically within 0dB and -2dB.
Changes from baseline of Pattern Standard Deviation (dB) in Visual Field (Humphery perimetry) indexesWeek 52A typical normal dB reading is around 30. The numeric dB graph should be studied next. The dBs tested by the Humphrey analyzer range between 0 and 50 dB (0 is the brightest and 50 is the dimmest).

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Patient reported outcome: Changes of NEI-VFQ-25Week 52NEI-VFQ-25 questionnaire measures dimensions of self-reported vision-targeted health status that are most important to persons with eye disease. Total score ranges from 0-100, where a score of 0 represents the worst outcome and 100 represents the best outcome.
