• to evaluate duration of visual function improvement (if observed)

• Detailed Description: Not Provided
• Study Type: Interventional
• Study Phase: Phase 1
• Study Design: Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment; Masking: None (Open Label); Primary Purpose: Treatment

Condition

• LCA (Leber Congenital Amaurosis)
• RP (Retinitis Pigmentosa)

Intervention

Drug: QLT091001
