Brief summary

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of ATSN-201 in subjects ≥ 6 years of age with RS1-associated X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS).

Detailed description

The study is designed in three parts: a dose escalation phase (Part A), a dose expansion phase (Part B) and a randomized, controlled phase (Part C). In Part C of the study, eligible patients who enroll in this study will be randomly assigned to be treated with ATSN-201 or to have no treatment; subjects assigned to ATSN-201 will receive the drug as a one-time subretinal injection of ATSN-201 in one eye or both eyes, depending on whether only one or both eyes meet criteria for treatment. Subjects will have regular assessments for 1 year as part of the Main Study Period and additional assessments over the next 4 years as part of the Extension Study Period. Some subjects may have all their study visits at a surgery site. Some subjects may go to one study site (a medical site) to determine eligibility and another study site (a surgery site) to have surgery - including pre-operative care and approximately 1-week of post-operative care per treated eye. After the surgery, they will go back to the other study site (the medical site) to complete the follow-up visits. Subjects who do not receive treatment as part of the control group can choose to receive ATSN-201 in one or both eyes after the 1-year Main Study Period if eligible.

Inclusion criteria

Part A and B: Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥ 18 for Cohorts 1 through 4, and age ≥ 6 years and \< 18 years for Cohort 5. 2. Male patients with clinical diagnosis of XLRS caused by mutations in RS1. 3. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in study eye of 34 to 73 Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) letters (corresponding to a Snellen acuity of 20/200 to 20/40). 4. Presence of foveal schisis and /or parafoveal/perifoveal schisis in the study eye on SD-OCT per the Principal Investigator.

Exclusion criteria

1. Pre-existing eye conditions in the study eye that would contribute significantly to an increased risk of visual loss from a subretinal injection (eg, advanced glaucoma, optic neuropathy, uveitis, corneal transplants). 2. Any intraocular surgery (including laser treatment) in the study eye within 6 months prior to Screening or any intraocular surgery anticipated in the study eye during the first 12 months of the study. 3. Treatment in a prior ocular gene or cell therapy study. Part C: Inclusion Criteria: Note: For patients ineligible for bilateral dosing based on the ocular
