Study Summary

This trial is for people who have achromatopsia and have had gene therapy in the past.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who have a type of color blindness called achromatopsia and were previously treated with gene therapies AAV - CNGB3 or AAV - CNGA3. Participants must be able to consent, follow the study's long-term procedures, and have received one of these treatments in earlier Phase I/II trials.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is observing the long-term effects of two gene therapy interventions: AAV - CNGB3 and AAV - CNGA3. These therapies were administered in previous clinical trials to treat achromatopsia, a form of color blindness.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is a follow-up study, it focuses on monitoring ongoing side effects from the initial treatment which may include eye irritation or inflammation, changes in vision, and potential immune responses.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is there still availability for individuals to join this research project?

"Per the information found on clinicaltrials.gov, this specific trial is not currently seeking participants. Initially published in June 2017 and amended for the last time in January 2022, it does not appear to be actively recruiting at present. Nonetheless, there are 7 other trials that require patient enrolment immediately."

Answered by AI

Might I be qualified to partake in this investigation?

"This medical trial is recruiting 34 patients between the ages of 3 and 100, who possess achromatopsia. Additionally, these persons must meet additional criteria such as being able to provide informed consent or assent (with parental/guardian guidance where applicable), receiving AAV2/8-hCARp.hCNGB3 or AAV2/8-hG1.7p.coCNGA3 through intraocular administration in a prior open-label study, demonstrating commitment to protocol adherence and longterm followup, and being unable to fulfill other requirements of the study."

Answered by AI

Does the research allow individuals under 45 years of age to participate?

"This clinical trial mandates that participants be between the ages of 3 and 100. There are also 4 trials for those under 18, as well as 7 specially tailored studies for seniors over 65 years old."
