What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

The purpose of this double-masked, randomized, placebo-controlled, paired-eye study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Sepofarsen in subjects with Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA) due to the c.2991+1655A\>G (p.Cys998X) mutation in the CEP290.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for individuals with Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA) Type 10, specifically those with a certain mutation in the CEP290 gene. Participants must have similar vision impairment in both eyes and some detectable retinal structure. They should also have very limited vision, ranging from roughly 20/50 to light perception only.

Inclusion Criteria

My vision is between 20/50 and nearly complete blindness, but I had better vision before.
My vision in both eyes is nearly the same.
My eye exam shows detectable outer nuclear layer in the macula.

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

  • Sepofarsen
Trial Overview The study tests Sepofarsen's effectiveness and safety against a placebo in treating LCA type 10. It's a double-masked trial, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who receives the real treatment or placebo. Each eye of a participant gets different treatments for comparison.
