Study of Subretinally Injected ATSN-101 Administered in Patients With Leber Congenital Amaurosis Caused by Biallelic Mutations in GUCY2D

United States15 participantsStarted 2019-09-12

Plain-language summary

Primary Objective: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of ascending doses of ATSN-101 administered as a unilateral subretinal injection in patients with Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA) caused by autosomal recessive guanylate cyclase 2D (GUCY2D) mutations (GUCY2D-LCA). Secondary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of ascending doses of ATSN-101 administered as a unilateral subretinal injection in patients with GUCY2D-LCA.

Inclusion criteria : * Male or female participant with clinical diagnosis of Leber congenital amaurosis caused by biallelic mutations in the GUCY2D (retinal guanylate cyclase) gene with all of the following: a) Documented mutations in both alleles of the GUCY2D gene per testing in a CLIA-approved laboratory, b) For Cohort 1-3, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 20/200 or worse in the eye to be injected; subsequent cohorts may include BCVA of 20/80 or worse in the eye to be injected, c) Photoreceptor (outer nuclear) layer structure identifiable on an optical coherence tomography (OCT) scan across the central retina. * Age ≥18 years for Cohorts 1 through 4, and age ≥ 6 years and \<18 years for Cohort 5. * Male and female participants must follow the contraception requirements of the trial. * Participants must agree to not donate blood, organs, tissues, cells or sperm for at least three months following ATSN-101 administration. Exclusion criteria: * Complicating systemic diseases (such as medical conditions causing immunosuppression) that would preclude the gene transfer, ocular surgery or planned study procedures. * History of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. * Pre-existing eye conditions in the study eye that would preclude the planned surgery or interfere with the assessment and interpretation of study endpoints: for example, glaucoma or optic neuropathy that has resulted in significant visual loss, corneal or lenticular abnormalities or opacities that wou…

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
