X-Linked Retinitis Pigmentosa | Biological: rAAV2tYF-GRK1-hRPGRco | Phase 2 Phase 3 |
This Phase 2/3 study is a randomized, controlled, masked, multi-center study evaluating and comparing 2 doses of AGTC-501 to an untreated control group. A single subretinal injection of AGTC-501 Dose 1(low dose) or Dose 2(high dose) will be administered in subjects in 2 treatment groups (N=~42), while subjects in the untreated control group (N=~21) will be followed and evaluated up to Month 12, after which they will be eligible to receive treatment with AGTC-501 Dose 2.
Approximately 63 eligible male subjects between 8 and 50 years of age (inclusive) will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to 1 of 3 groups (low dose, high dose, untreated control).
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 63 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | Subjects are randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to 1 of 3 groups (low dose, high dose, untreated). After 12 months, subjects in the untreated group are eligible to receive the high dose of AGTC-501. |
Masking: | Quadruple (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor) |
Masking Description: | For groups 1 and 2 (AGTC-501 dosing groups), both the subjects and the Investigators are masked to dose assignment, and only the unmasked staff who prepare the dose are unmasked to the subject's dose assignment. Due to the need to perform the subretinal injection to administer the study drug, both subjects and Investigators will know whether the subject was assigned to a treatment group or to the control group. To minimize bias of the treated and control study eye evaluations, starting at Month 3, microperimetry, mobility testing, and BCVA assessments will be conducted by appropriately qualified masked evaluators who do not know whether the subject underwent surgery. Subjects will be instructed not to disclose whether they had surgery to the examiner administering the test. |
