Brief Summary:
This will be a non-randomized, open-label, Phase 1/2 study of the safety and efficacy of rAAV2tYF-PR1.7-hCNGB3 administered to one eye by subretinal injection in individuals with achromatopsia caused by mutations in the CNGB3 gene. The primary study endpoint will be safety and the secondary study endpoint will be efficacy.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Achromatopsia Biological: rAAV2tYF-PR1.7-hCNGB3 Phase 1 Phase 2

Detailed Description:

This will be a non-randomized, open-label, Phase 1/2 study of the safety and efficacy of rAAV2tYF-PR1.7-hCNGB3 administered to one eye by subretinal injection in individuals with achromatopsia caused by mutations in the CNGB3 gene. The primary study endpoint will be safety and the secondary study endpoint will be efficacy.

Subjects will be enrolled sequentially in four groups. Subjects in Groups 1, 2 and 3 will be at least 18 years of age and will receive a lower, middle or higher dose of study agent. Subjects in Group 4 will be at least 6 years of age and will receive the maximum tolerated dose identified in Groups 1, 2 and 3.

Safety will be monitored by evaluation of ocular and non ocular adverse events and hematology and clinical chemistry parameters. Efficacy parameters will include visual acuity, light discomfort testing, color vision, static visual field, ERG, adaptive optics retinal imaging and OCT.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Lower dose
rAAV2tYF-PR1/7-hCNGB3 will be administered at the lowest of three planned dose levels.
 Biological: rAAV2tYF-PR1.7-hCNGB3
rAAV2tYF-PR1.7-hCNGB3 is a non-replicating, rep/cap-deleted, recombinant adeno-associated virus vector that expresses the CNGB3 gene.
Experimental: Middle dose
rAAV2tYF-PR1/7-hCNGB3 will be administered at the middle of three planned dose levels.
 Biological: rAAV2tYF-PR1.7-hCNGB3
rAAV2tYF-PR1.7-hCNGB3 is a non-replicating, rep/cap-deleted, recombinant adeno-associated virus vector that expresses the CNGB3 gene.
Experimental: Higher dose
rAAV2tYF-PR1/7-hCNGB3 will be administered at the highest of three planned dose levels.
 Biological: rAAV2tYF-PR1.7-hCNGB3
rAAV2tYF-PR1.7-hCNGB3 is a non-replicating, rep/cap-deleted, recombinant adeno-associated virus vector that expresses the CNGB3 gene.
Experimental: Maximum tolerated dose
rAAV2tYF-PR1/7-hCNGB3 will be administered at the maximum tolerated dose identified from Groups 1, 2 and 3.
 Biological: rAAV2tYF-PR1.7-hCNGB3
rAAV2tYF-PR1.7-hCNGB3 is a non-replicating, rep/cap-deleted, recombinant adeno-associated virus vector that expresses the CNGB3 gene.

Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria include:

  1. Retinal disease consistent with a diagnosis of achromatopsia and documented mutations in both alleles of the CNGB3 gene;
  2. At least 18 years of age for Groups 1, 2 and 3 and at least 6 years of age for Group 4;
  3. Able to perform tests of visual and retinal function;
  4. Visual acuity in the study eye not better than 55 ETDRS letters (Snellen equivalent 20/80) based on the average of two examinations at the baseline visit;
