Brief summary

This is a multi-centre, single- arm, non-randomized, open-label phase 1/2 clinical trial which enables dosing of the fellow eyes of patients who received VGR-R01 administration in previous studies.

Detailed description

VGR-R01 is a novel Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector carrying the human Cytochrome P450 Family 4 Subfamily V Member 2 (CYP4V2) coding sequence. This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of VGR-R01 administered in the contralateral eye (the second treated eye) of subjects enrolled in the VGR-R01-001 and VGR-R01-101 studies, along with assessments of immunogenicity and vector shedding. Additionally, the long-term safety and efficacy of VGR-R01 treatment will be continuously assessed for up to 5 years after the last dose.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence of adverse events and serious adverse eventsUp to Year 5Ocular/non-ocular adverse events are collected. The ophthalmic examination will include Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA), Intraocular Pressure (IOP), slit lamp examination, angiography and Optical Coherence Tomography (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.
Number of participants with clinically significant change from baseline in vital signs, clinically laboratory abnormalities and ophthalmic examination findingsUp to Year 5Vital 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 10 minutes. Laboratory Tests will include hematology, coagulation, blood chemistry, urinalysis, serology, and pregnancy test, etc. Ophthalmic Examination will include BCVA, IOP, slit lamp examination, angiography and OCT, etc. Clinical significance of the above signs will be determined at the investigator's discretion.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change from baseline in BCVAYear 5BCVA will be assessed with the Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) visual acuity (VA) chart..
Change from baseline in multi-luminance mobility test (MLMT) scoreYear 5Subjects will navigate a standardized mobility maze under set conditions as specified times during the study. All light-levels used for testing will be rounded to one of the following specified light levels: 0.1, 1, 4, 10, 50, 125, 250, or 400 lux. The corresponding scores for the above light levels range from 7 to 0, in descending order. -1 point means failing to pass the test at the 400 lux level; the lower the score, the worse the functional vision of the participant.
Change from baseline in optical coherence tomography (OCT)Year 5Change from baseline in central retinal thickness (CRT) as imaged by OCT.
Number of subjects with the presence of immunogenicityYear 5Assessed as presence of systemic cell-mediated or humoral responses to capsid or transgene product.
Number of subjects with the presence of vector sheddingYear 5Assessed as the presence of vector in peripheral blood or collected tear.
Fixation stabilityYear 5Number of treated eyes with changes from baseline in fixation stability with MP-3 Microperimetry. Fixation stability is rated into three levels: stable fixation, relatively unstable fixation, and unstable fixation, with fixed standard reporting on the device settings.
Light sensitivityYear 5Changes from baseline in light sensitivity with MP-3 Microperimetry. The MP-3 has a stimulus intensity range of 0 to 34 decibels (dB).
