Gene Therapy's lasting effects on vision tracked in Long-Term study
NCT ID NCT03584165
First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows people with two inherited eye conditions—choroideremia and X-linked retinitis pigmentosa—who previously received gene therapy. Researchers monitor their safety and vision over several years to see if the treatment remains safe and helps preserve sight. Participants include both those who got the gene therapy and untreated controls from earlier studies.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- gene therapy (BIIB111 or BIIB112)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a single gene therapy treatment provides lasting safety and helps preserve vision for years in people with these inherited eye diseases.
- What could go wrong
- This is a follow-up study, not a new treatment test. It cannot prove the therapy works for everyone, and long-term side effects or loss of vision are still possible.

Key Inclusion Criteria: CHM Participants a. Have participated in and exited from an interventional study that investigated the safety and efficacy of a sub-retinal injection of BIIB111 for CHM. XLRP Participants a. Have received a sub-retinal injection of BIIB112 for XLRP and have exited an antecedent study. Key Exclusion Criteria: Participants are not eligible for study participation if they meet the following exclusion criterion. a. In the opinion of the Investigator and/or the Sponsor, it is not in the participant's best interest to participate in the study. NOTE: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
