Ongoing gene therapy trials open to enrollment

These studies are actively seeking new participants.

The purpose of this study is to learn about a new gene therapy that may help patients with Achromatopsia. This is the first study that aims to treat Achromatopsia disease by gene therapy. The study investigators want to find out whether it is safe for use in humans. The gene therapy is given by a surgical injection into the retina (the lining of the back of the eye that detects light) of one eye. The eye with worse vision will receive the gene therapy.

The purpose of this study is to learn about a new gene therapy that may help patients with X-Linked Retinoschisis (XLRS).This is the first study that aims to treat XLRS disease by gene therapy. The study investigators want to find out whether it is safe for use in humans. The gene therapy is given by a surgical injection into the vitreous (a thick, gel-like transparent substance that fills the center of the eye) of one eye. The eye with worse vision will receive the gene therapy.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety and dosing levels of a gene-based treatment, RetinoStat, for wet AMD. In this study, two helpful genes are delivered directly to the retina, where they "turn on" proteins that block abnormal blood vessel growth in a sustained fashion. Enrollment is completed and study patients are being followed.
