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

Summary

This study is a follow-up to a Phase 3 trial testing a gene therapy called AAV5-hRKp.RPGR for people with X-linked retinitis pigmentosa, a genetic eye disease that causes vision loss. The treatment aims to slow or stop vision decline by delivering a working copy of the RPGR gene to the retina. Researchers are monitoring 97 participants for side effects and changes in eyesight over time.
