Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | Male |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Male at least 18 years of age diagnosed with CHM gene mutation
- Central visual field (VF) < 30° in any of the 24 meridians (using Goldmann perimetry III4e isopter) in the eye to be injected
- Any evidence of functioning outer retinal cells within the central 10°
Exclusion Criteria:
- Previous history of ocular inflammatory disease (uveitis)
- Prior intraocular surgery within six months
- Participation in a previous gene therapy research trial within one year of enrollment or participation in any other ocular gene therapy trial
- Participation in a clinical study with an investigational drug in the past six months
- Grossly asymmetrical disease, or other eye morbidity, which may render the contralateral eye ineffective as a control
- Visual acuity < 20/200 on standard ETDRS testing in the eye to be injected
- Presence of disease which may preclude the subject from participation in this trial
- Use of medications known to be neuroprotective or retino-toxic that could potentially interfere with the disease process and/or cause ocular adverse events; individuals who discontinue use of these compounds for 6 months may become eligible
- Identification by the investigator as being unable or unwilling to perform / be compliant with study procedures.
