Safety Study of RPE65 Gene Therapy to Treat Leber Congenital Amaurosis

Plain-language summary

This study looks at the safety of the RPE65 gene therapy called tgAAG76 in Leber congenital amaurosis, an inherited cause of vision loss due to mutations in the RPE65 gene. People with a confirmed missense mutation in RPE65 and a clinical diagnosis of severe early-onset retinal dystrophy could take part. The study was carried out in Phase 1/Phase 2 and has been completed.
