A Phase 2 interventional study of No intervention, will not receive any active study intervention and Intravitreal Injection of Ultevursen in Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), Usher Syndrome Type 2 and Deaf Blind, sponsored by Laboratoires Thea. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 8 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-09-01.
Sponsored by Laboratoires Thea · Phase 2, Interventional, and Treatment
The purpose of this Phase 2 Open-label study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of Ultevursen administered via intravitreal injection (IVT) in participants with Retinitis Pigmentosa due to mutations in exon 13 of the USH2A gene. This is a multicenter study which will enroll approximately 81 participants, however, the exact number enrolled will depend on the final number completing the 24-month LUNA trial and are eligible and willing to enroll in CAPELLA.
Approximately Eighty-One (81) RP participants will be enrolled in this study. These participants would have completed the Phase 2b study, LUNA, and are deemed eligible to participate in the open-label study, CAPELLA. The end of study (EOS) visit for LUNA will also serve as the Screening/Baseline visit for CAPELLA. All eligible participants enrolled in the Treatment Cohort will be given the study medication (Ultevursen) via intravitreal injection (IVT) every 6 months at Screening/Baseline, Month 6, Month 12 and Month 18. The starting dosage of Ultevursen will be determined by the participant's treatment cohort they were assigned in the LUNA study (active or sham cohort). Participants not participating in the CAPELLA Treatment Cohort, either due to Investigator discretion, or participant withdrawal, will be asked to enter the "Observation Only" Cohort. These participants will not receive IVT injection of Ultevursen, but will visit the trial location at Screening/Baseline, Month 12 and Month 24 for safety follow-up and other study related tests.

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.
Exclusion Criteria:
Treatment Cohort only: New ocular condition in the SE (e.g., severe infection, uncontrolled glaucoma, or retinal detachment) that, in the Investigator's opinion, makes the SE unsafe for IVT injection
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.
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.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
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.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Participants will receive an intravitreal injection (IVT) of Ultevursen with concentrations of 3.6 mg/mL for initial dose and 1.2 mg/mL for maintenance doses every 6 months thereafter through Month 18 (up to 4 doses). The dose concentrations will be determined by the participant's randomized cohort assignment during the Phase 2 LUNA study.
