One-Time gene shot aims to halt rare blindness

NCT ID NCT02652767

First seen Mar 02, 2026 · Last updated Apr 26, 2026 · Updated 10 times

Summary

This study tested a single injection of GS010 gene therapy in 39 people with Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) who had vision loss for 6 months or less. The goal was to see if the treatment could improve eyesight compared to a sham injection. While the therapy targets the root genetic cause, it does not eliminate the need for ongoing management, so it is classified as disease control.
