About this trial
The purpose of this double-masked, randomized, placebo-controlled, paired-eye study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Sepofarsen in subjects with Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA) due to the c.2991+1655A\>G (p.Cys998X) mutation in the CEP290.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Confirmed clinical diagnosis of LCA10 and a molecular diagnosis of homozygosity or compound heterozygosity for the c.2991+1655A>G mutation in CEP290.
Adults: >=18 years / Minors: 6 to <18 years.
BCVA (FrACT) equal to or worse than logMAR +0.4 (approximate Snellen equivalent 20/50) to +2.9 logMAR based on quantifiable, reliable FrACT. LP subjects with documented evidence of prior better vision eligible.
Symmetrical disease between the two eyes as defined by a BCVA (FrACT) within 0.2 logMAR at baseline.
Disqualifiers
Mutations in genes other than the CEP290 gene associated with other IRD diseases or syndromes.
Presence of any ocular pathology in either eye that may make comparison of the eyes not feasible.
Presence of unstable concurrent CME, or subject started on (or changed dose of) topical or systemic carbonic anhydrase inhibitor treatment in the 3 months prior to enrollment. CME is allowed if stable for 3 months (with or without treatment).
Presence of any clinically significant lens opacities/cataracts based on the AREDS lens grading scale.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Change from baseline in Best-Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA)
Change from baseline in BCVA based on the Freiburg Acuity and Contrast Test (FrACT) between Treatment Eyes (TEs) and Placebo Control Eyes (PCEs)
Secondary outcomes
Eye-specific Patient Global Impression of Change (PGI-C) between Treatment Eyes (TEs) and Placebo Control Eyes (PCEs)
PGI-C (PATIENT GLOBAL IMPRESSION OF CHANGE ) assesses a patient's perception of overall change in their vision in the respective eye over time. The minimum score (best outcome) is 1 ("Very Much Better") and the maximum score (worst outcome) is 7 ("Very Much Worse"). Higher scores indicate a worse health outcome (greater worsening).
Change from baseline in Low Luminance Visual Acuity (LLVA) based on FrACT between Treatment Eyes (TEs) and Placebo Control Eyes (PCEs)
Change from baseline in retinal sensitivity as measured by dark-adapted Full-Field Stimulus Test (FST) between Treatment Eyes (TEs) and Placebo Control Eyes (PCEs)
Change from baseline in Contrast Sensitivity (CS) between Treatment Eyes (TEs) and Placebo Control Eyes (PCEs) based on qCSF
