First-in-Human, Dose Escalation Trial of AXV-101 in BBS1-Related Retinal Degeneration
United Kingdom12 participantsStarted 2026-05
Plain-language summary
The goal of this first in human study is to evaluate the preliminary safety and tolerability of AXV-101 in participants with BBS1. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Is AXV-101 safe and tolerable to use in participants with BBS1?
* To determine the therapeutic dose of AXV-101 in participants with BBS1
* To investigate the concentration of AXV-101 in blood, urine and tears (both eyes)
Participants will undergo comprehensive ophthalmic assessments to evaluate functional and structural changes from baseline to one year in the treated eye compared with the untreated eye. Additional evaluations will include blood, urine, and tear testing for safety and pharmacokinetics, and quality of life questionnaires completed by both participants and caregivers. Safety will also be assessed by monitoring the frequency and severity of adverse events, including serious adverse events, through medical history, physical examinations, and laboratory testing.

To be eligible to participate in this trial, an individual must meet all the following criteria:
1. Male or female participants aged 4 to 17 years (inclusive).
2. Able to provide written informed consent:
2.1. Parent(s)/guardian(s) prior to the initiation of any study-specific procedures for participants who are under the age of 18 2.2. Participants aged 6-17 years of age may (according to the judgement of the investigator) provide their written assent; consent will also be required from the legal guardian of the participant.
2.3. Participants aged below 6 years of age will not be required to sign an assent form; however, their views should be considered; consent will be required from the legal guardian of the participant.
3. Participant with a confirmed diagnosis of bi-allelic BBS1 mutations. Molecular diagnosis/genetic testing will have been undertaken by an accredited laboratory using an assay that has the relevant mark of conformity and is used as per its intended use. UK diagnostic genetic laboratories must conform to the Association for Clinical Genomic Science (ACGS) and adopt the ACMG guidelines for the determination of pathogenicity. US diagnostic genetic laboratories must be CLIA-approved.
4. Participants with presentation of retinal degeneration (evidence of early Rod-Cone Dystrophy, Cone-Rod Dystrophy or Night vision loss \[nyctalopia\])
5. Participants with sufficient viable retinal cells as determined by OCT. Participants must have either:
