Summary

This study tests a new gene therapy called CPK850 for people with a rare form of retinitis pigmentosa caused by mutations in the RLBP1 gene. The therapy is injected under the retina to replace the faulty gene. The main goals are to check safety and see if it helps the eye adjust to darkness better. Only 12 adults with advanced vision loss are taking part.
