Trial Design
6Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Pediatric ArmExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Pediatric subjects will receive the medium dose concentration and will have subjects with RP and LCA
Group II: Cohort 3 (High Dose)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Biallelic autosomal recessive NR2E3 mutations subgroup or Autosomal dominant NR2E3 mutation, RHO mutations subgroup and LCA patients with CEP290
Group III: Cohort 2 (Mid Dose)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Biallelic autosomal recessive NR2E3 mutations subgroup or Autosomal dominant NR2E3 mutation or RHO mutations subgroup
Group IV: Cohort 1 (Low Dose)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Biallelic autosomal recessive NR2E3 mutations subgroup or Autosomal dominant NR2E3 mutation or RHO mutations subgroup
Group V: Adult ArmExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Following DSMB confirmation, adult LCA subjects with CEP290 mutation will receive a medium dose concentration of OCU400.
Group VI: Natural History Study (OCU400-104)Active Control1 Intervention
A Prospective and Retrospective Natural History Study of RP and LCA:
This is an observatory study for the prospective natural history of RP and LCA in adult and pediatric subjects. The study will also collect and review retrospective data and ophthalmology examination of natural history and progression of disease for all subjects starting with earliest timepoint on or after the date of their diagnosis of RP or LCA.
Subjects will be seen up to a total of four times during the 12 months of the Observational Period, at baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months.
A total of up to 100 subjects will be enrolled in the study, including:
Approximately 76 newly enrolled subjects consisting of 50 adult RP subjects 6 adult LCA subjects 20 pediatric RP/LCA subjects. Up to 24 subjects that reconsent from the OCU400-101 study (subjects from OCU400-101 will provide data on their untreated eye)
