Plain-language summary
The goal of the study is to investigate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of up to 3 doses of KIO-301 administered by intravitreal (IVT) injection bilaterally every 6 weeks in patients with late-stage retinitis pigmentosa (RP).
Late-stage RP patients will include those patients with No Light Perception (NLP), or Low Vision (LV).

. Be willing and able to follow all study instructions, attend all study visits, and complete all study assessments.
. Have a clinical diagnosis of non-syndromic RP, with the exception of Usher's Syndrome Type II (USH2) which is allowed.

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.
What they're measuring
1
To assess the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of KIO-301 administered by IVT injection bilaterally of KIO-301 in patients with late-stage RP.
Timeframe: Baseline (Week 1/pre-dose) to Week 25 (12 weeks post 3rd IVT administration of KIO-301)
. For Low Vision (LV) OU participants only: must pass at least one multi-luminance functional vision (MLFV) test at two successive light levels (between 1 and 500 lux), or at 1400 lux. Additionally, they must fail the same test at 0.125 and 0.35 lux.
. Must agree to follow appropriate contraception requirements from Screening until 3 months after the last dose of IMP.
Exclusion criteria
. Pregnant or breast-feeding, or plan to become pregnant during the study.
. Have, in the investigator's opinion, evidence of material/substantial optic nerve disease.
. Have a history of one or more retinal detachments.
. Other than RP related macular pathologies, have in the investigator's opinion, clinically significant ocular disease (e.g., corneal oedema, uveitis, severe keratoconjunctivitis sicca), or clinically significant opacities of the media which might interfere with the study assessments, or the ability of the participant to complete the study.
. Have a history of high myopia (\> 6 diopters).
. Have uncontrolled severe glaucoma defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) of \> 26 mmHg when on 2 or more IOP lowering medications and cup disc ratio of ≥ 0.8, as diagnosed by an ophthalmologist.
. Have had a previous intraocular surgery (with the exception of phacoemulsification cataract surgery and YAG capsulotomy more than 12 months prior to first study drug administration, which is allowed).
. Have aphakia or a subluxed intraocular lens, or have evidence of zonular weakness that in the opinion of the investigator would result in light obfuscation.
