Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Safety (AE). Number of Participants With Abnormal Laboratory Values and/or Adverse Events That Are Related to Treatment [ Time Frame: Day 0 - Day 365 ]
    Safety as the primary endpoint will be assessed by clinical examination of ocular inflammation (slit lamp, fundus biomicroscopy, angiography, perimetry or electrophysiology). Systemic safety will be assessed by vital signs, routine clinical chemistry testing (including C reactive protein, ESR) and full/differential blood counts. Immunopathology essays will include specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays for humoral antibodies against rAAV8 capsid protein and/or CNGA3 gene product and specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot assays to monitor cellular immune reactivity against rAAV8 capsid protein and/or CNGA3 gene product. Biodistribution will be monitored by polymerase chain reaction studies on rAAV8 genome in blood, urine, saliva and lachrymal fluid.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Efficacy measures. Number of Participants With improved Visual Function. [ Time Frame: Day 14 - Day 365 ]
    Efficacy data (improvement in visual function) and patient reported outcomes will be investigated exploratively as well as retinal imaging. They are all secondary endpoints in this trial.

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older   (Adult, Older Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • clinical diagnosis of achromatopsia
  • ≥ 18 years of age
  • confirmed mutation in CNGA3
  • BCVA ≥ 20/400
  • a minimal outer nuclear layer thickness of 10µm at 3° eccentricity in the study eye (normal = 38±6µm)
  • ability to understand and willingness to consent to study protocol
  • no infection with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
  • negative pregnancy test in women with childbearing potential (a woman who is two years post-menopausal or surgically sterile is not considered to be of childbearing potential)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • additional interfering eye conditions (e.g. uveitis, advanced cataract) in the study eye
  • systemic conditions (e.g. coronary heart disease, autoimmune disorders) which may affect study participation or outcome measures
  • current or recent participation in other study/or administration of biologic agent within the last three months
  • recent (6 months) ocular surgery, intravitreal or subretinal implantation of a medical device
  • known sensitivity to any compound used in the study
  • contraindications to systemic immunosuppression
  • subject/partner of childbearing potential unwilling to use adequate contraception for four months
  • nursing or pregnant women
  • any other cause that, in the investigator's opinion, renders potential subjects not suitable for the study
  • mutations in another achromatopsia gene
  • contraindications in view of the planned surgery (e.g. anaemia Hb<8g/dl, severe coagulopathy, severe blood pressure fluctuations)
  • ocular opacity and mature cataract
  • history of ocular malignancies
  • disorders of the internal retina (e.g. retinal detachment in the patients history)
  • glaucoma defined as damage of the optic nerve
  • vascular retinal occlusion
  • diabetic patients suffering from retinopathy and/or macula edema
  • patients treated with oral corticoids within 14 days prior inclusion
  • systemic illness or medically significant abnormal laboratory values in blood analysis including renal and hepatic functions at inclusion
  • absence of vision on the other contralateral eye
