Study summary

The purpose of the study is to determine whether HG004 as gene therapy is safe and effective for the treatment of Leber Congenital Amaurosis caused by mutations in RPE65 gene.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Male or females between 6 and 50 years of age at the time of signing the form.
  • Willing to adhere to protocol as evidenced by written informed consent or parental permission and subject assent.
  • Clinical confirmed diagnosis of Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) and molecular diagnosis of LCA due to RPE65 mutations.
  • Ability to perform tests of visual and retinal function.
  • Visual acuity of ≤ 20/80 or visual field less than 20 degrees in the eye to be injected.
  • Acceptable hematology, clinical chemistry, and urine laboratory parameters.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pre-existing eye conditions that would preclude the planned surgery or interfere with interpretation of study endpoints or complications of surgery (e.g., glaucoma requiring upcoming surgery, corneal or significant lenticular opacities).
  • Presence of epiretinal membrane by OCT.
  • Complicating systemic diseases or abnormal baseline laboratory values.
  • Complicating systemic diseases would include those in which the disease itself, or the treatment for the disease, can alter ocular function.
  • Prior ocular surgery within six months.
  • Prior gene therapy or oligonucleotide therapy treatments.
  • Any condition which leads the investigator to believe that the participant cannot comply with the protocol requirements or that may place the participant at an unacceptable risk for participation.
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.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

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 Sep 19, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
