About this trial

Study OpCT-001-101 is a Phase 1/2a first-in-human, multisite, 2-part interventional study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and the effect on clinical outcomes of OpCT-001 in approximately 54 adults with primary photoreceptor (PR) disease. Phase 1 focuses on safety and features a dose-escalation design. Phase 2 is designed to gather additional safety data and assess the effect of OpCT-001 on measures of visual function, functional vision, and anatomic measures of engraftment in different clinical subgroups.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Confirmed genetic diagnosis of primary photoreceptor (PR) disease

Retinal structure examination in the study eye demonstrating regions suitable for cell administration.

Disqualifiers

Glaucoma or other significant optic neuropathy

Diabetic macular edema or diabetic retinopathy

Clinically significant cystoid macular edema
