First patients receive experimental gene therapy injection for rare inherited blindness

NCT ID NCT06461286

Summary

This is the first study in people to test the safety of an experimental drug called PYC-001 for a rare, inherited eye disease that causes progressive vision loss. Up to 18 adults with a confirmed OPA1 gene mutation will receive a single injection of the drug into one eye. The main goal is to see if the treatment is safe and well-tolerated at different dose levels.
