Brief Summary:
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a recombinant adeno-associated virus vector (rAAV2tYF-GRK1-RPGR) in patients with X-linked retinitis pigmentosa caused by RPGR mutations.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
X-Linked Retinitis Pigmentosa Biological: rAAV2tYF-GRK1-RPGR Phase 1 Phase 2

Detailed Description:

This study includes a non-randomized, open-label, Phase 1/2 dose escalation portion, and a Phase 2 randomized, controlled, masked dose expansion portion.

Approximately 30 participants will be enrolled into the dose escalation portion of the study. Each participant will receive the study agent by subretinal injection in one eye on a single occasion. Enrollment will begin with the lowest dose and will proceed to higher doses only after review of safety data by a Data and Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC). Within groups 1 through 3 and 5 and 6, enrollment of participants will be staggered by at least 2 weeks to allow adequate time for review of safety information by the investigators and sponsor. Within Group 4, enrollment of the first 3 pediatric participants will be staggered by at least 2 weeks to allow adequate time for review of safety information by the investigators and sponsor. Study agent administration will occur on Day 0. There are a total of 15 visits over approximately 36 months, and long-term follow-up evaluations annually at years 4 and 5.

After the phase 1/2 portion of the study is completed, approximately 12 participants, who were not part of the Phase 1/2 portion of the study, will be enrolled into the dose expansion portion of the study. These participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to 1 of 2 treatment groups (i.e., Group 1 [low dose] and Group 2 [high dose]). Each participant will receive the assigned dose of AGTC-501 in one eye on a single occasion.
