Summary

This early-stage trial tests a gene therapy called BS01 for people with retinitis pigmentosa, a condition that causes gradual vision loss. The treatment uses a harmless virus to deliver a light-sensitive protein to cells in the eye, aiming to help them detect light again. About 20 adults with very limited vision will be enrolled to check safety and whether it improves light, motion, or object detection.
