Phase 1/2 Open-Label Dose-Escalation Study to Evaluate Safety of a Single Intravitreal Injection of RTx-021 in Patients With Stargardt Disease
brief summary
A Phase 1/2, open-label, non-randomized, dose-escalation study, where a minimum of 9 and a maximum of 18 eligible patients with Stargardt Disease will be enrolled sequentially in up to 3 dose cohorts of RTx-021. Enrolled patients will receive a single, unilateral intravitreal injection of RTx-021 in the study eye and be followed for 5 years.
detailed description
This Phase 1/2, open-label, non-randomized, sequential assignment, first-in-human dose-escalation study is to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of a single, uniocular intravitreal injection of an investigational optogenetic gene therapy, RTx-021, in patients with Stargardt Disease. Up to 3 dose cohorts of RTx-021 are planned, and each cohort will consist initially of 3 patients. The study is a traditional dose escalation design with the potential for cohort expansion and is intended to support dose selection for further clinical development. Patients will receive a single, unilateral intravitreal injection of RTx-021 in the study eye and be followed for 5 years with visits being more frequent in the initial 12 months after treatment.
