Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Male or female, ≥ 6 years of age at Screening with a clinical diagnosis of LCA and a molecular diagnosis of homozygosity or compound heterozygosity for the CEP290 p.Cys998X mutation.

- Detectable outer nuclear layer (ONL) in the area of the macula.
- An electroretinogram (ERG) result consistent with LCA.

- Any clinically significant cardiac disease or defect.
- One or more coagulation parameters outside of the normal range.
- Any ocular disease or condition that could compromise treatment safety, visual acuity or interfere with assessment of efficacy and safety.
- Prior receipt of intraocular surgery or intravitreal injection within 3 months prior to study start or planned intraocular surgery or procedure during the course of the study.
- Use of any investigational drug or device within 90 days or 5 half-lives of Day 1, whichever is longer, or plans to participate in another study of a drug or device during the PQ-110-001 study period.
- Any prior receipt of genetic therapy for LCA
