First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether injecting a replacement enzyme directly into the eye can slow or stop vision loss in children with CLN2 Batten disease, a rare genetic disorder that causes blindness and brain damage. Five children aged 2 to 6 who already receive brain infusions of the enzyme will get eye injections over two years. The goal is to see if the treatment is safe and helps preserve retinal structure and eyesight.
