What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of Adverse Events related to the treatment

    Safety is defined as the absence of ATIMP-related safety events

    Time frame: 5 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Improvement in the retinal function

    Improvements in visual function as assessed by visual assessment

    Time frame: 5 years

  2. Improvement in the visual function

    Improvements in retinal function as assessed by visual assessment

    Time frame: 5 years

  3. Improvement in quality of life

    Improvement in the participant's quality of life which is measurable by QoL questionnaire
