Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Adults Low Dose
Single dose of EDIT-101 administered by subretinal injection surgery
|
Drug: EDIT-101
Participants will receive a single dose of EDIT-101 administered via subretinal injection in the study eye. Up to 5 cohorts across 3 doses will be enrolled in this study. |
Experimental: Adults Middle Dose
Single dose of EDIT-101 administered by subretinal injection surgery
|
Drug: EDIT-101
Participants will receive a single dose of EDIT-101 administered via subretinal injection in the study eye. Up to 5 cohorts across 3 doses will be enrolled in this study. |
Experimental: Adults High Dose
Single dose of EDIT-101 administered by subretinal injection surgery
|
Drug: EDIT-101
Participants will receive a single dose of EDIT-101 administered via subretinal injection in the study eye. Up to 5 cohorts across 3 doses will be enrolled in this study. |
Experimental: Pediatric Middle Dose
Single dose of EDIT-101 administered by subretinal injection surgery
|
Drug: EDIT-101
Participants will receive a single dose of EDIT-101 administered via subretinal injection in the study eye. Up to 5 cohorts across 3 doses will be enrolled in this study. |
Experimental: Pediatric High Dose
Single dose of EDIT-101 administered by subretinal injection surgery
|
Drug: EDIT-101
Participants will receive a single dose of EDIT-101 administered via subretinal injection in the study eye. Up to 5 cohorts across 3 doses will be enrolled in this study. |
- Frequency of Adverse Events related to EDIT-101 [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
- Number of participants experiencing procedural related adverse events [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
- Incidence of dose limiting toxicities [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
- Maximum tolerated dose as determined by occurrence of dose limiting toxicities [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
- Change from baseline in Mobility course score [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Testing the subjects visual function by having the subject walk through obstacle courses. Courses will have different levels of difficulty depending on the light levels of the room and the contrast of the objects in the room.
- Change from baseline in LogMAR measurement of BCVA [ Time Frame: 1 year ]The test will evaluate visual acuity in ranges from light perception to normal vision.
- Change from baseline in pupillary response [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Measuring the change in pupil diameter in response to a light stimulus.
- Change from baseline in dark adapted visual sensitivity using Full field light sensitivity threshold (FST) [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Flashes of light of varying luminance are presented to the eye and the subject reports is the flash was seen.
- Change from baseline in macula thickness [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
- Change from baseline in contrast sensitivity [ Time Frame: 1 year ]The Lea symbols chart will be used for subjects under age 6 and the Pelli-Robson chart for all other subjects. The images or letters on the charts are in decreasing contrast.
- Change from baseline in macular sensitivity as measured by microperimetry [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Visual field test measuring the amount of light perceived in specific parts of the macula.
- Change from baseline in color vision score using the Farnsworth 15 score [ Time Frame: 1 year ]The Farnsworth D15 tests for congenital and acquired color vision defects. Fifteen color discs will be arranged by the subject. Scoring is accomplished by recording the sequence selected by the patient on a copy of the score sheet. A patient with a color vision deficiency will arrange the color discs in a different order than a person with normal color vision.
- Change from baseline in QOL score for Age <8 years using the Children's Visual Function Questionnaire [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
- Change from baseline in QOL score for Age 8 to <18 years using the Impact of Vision Impairment for Children [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
- Change from baseline in QOL score for Age >18 years if BCVA is worse than 1.0 logMAR in both eyes using the Impact of Vision Impairment for Very Low Vision [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
- Change from baseline in QOL score for Age >18 years if BCVA is 1.0 logMAR or better in both eyes using the Impact of Vision Impairment [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
- Change from baseline in visual field using kinetic perimetry [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Kinetic perimetry looks as the visual field to identify regions of normal and abnormal sensitivity to light
- Change from baseline in Patient Global Impressions of Change score [ Time Frame: 1 year ]This QOL has 5 non-numeric choices for the subject to select how they believe their condition has changed.
- Change from baseline in gaze tracking [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Video clips of the eyes are used to measure eye position and stability over time.
