Study summary

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a recombinant adeno-associated virus vector (rAAV2tYF-GRK1-RPGR) in patients with X-linked retinitis pigmentosa caused by RPGR mutations.

Read the detailed description

This protocol includes a non-randomized, open-label, Phase 1/2 study (HORIZON). Approximately 30 participants will be enrolled into the dose escalation study (HORIZON). Each participant will receive the study agent by subretinal injection in one eye on a single occasion. Enrollment will begin with the lowest dose and will proceed to higher doses only after review of safety data by a Data and Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC). There are a total of 15 visits over approximately 36 months, and long-term follow-up evaluations annually at years 4 and 5.

Eligibility criteria

Phase 1/2 Dose Escalation Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male subjects with a documented RPGR mutation
  • Clinical diagnosis of X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP)
  • Best-corrected visual acuity not better than 78 ETDRS letters (20/32) in the study eye;
  • Ability to perform tests of visual and retinal function and structure and ability to comply with other research procedures;
  • Detectable baseline mean macular sensitivity, as measured by microperimetry.
  • Have detectable Ellipsoid Zone (EZ) line during the pre-treatment period as assessed by OCT and confirmed by the CRC.

Phase 1/2 Dose Escalation Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pre-existing eye conditions that would preclude the planned surgery or interfere with the interpretation of study endpoints or increase the risk of surgical complications (for example, glaucoma, corneal or lenticular opacities, diabetic retinopathy, retinal vasculitis);
  • Use of anti-coagulant agents that may alter coagulation within 7 days prior to study agent administration;
  • Use of systemic or other medications within 3 months prior to enrollment;
  • Any other condition that would prevent a subject from completing follow-up examinations during the course of the study;
  • Any other condition or reason that, in the opinion of the investigator, makes the subject unsuitable for the study;
  • Previous receipt of any AAV gene therapy product;
  • Monocular or having BCVA less than 20/800 in the fellow eye
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 20, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
