Overview
Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of subretinal SB-007 administration to determine dose selection in subjects with Stargardt disease type 1 (STGD1) confirmed genotypically to have bi-allelic ABCA4 gene mutations.
Eligibility Criteria
- Ages
- 18 years to 64 years (18-64 Years)
- Accepts Healthy Volunteers
- Yes
Inclusion Criteria
- •Provide written consent.
- •Are male or female subjects ≥18 to ≤65 years (inclusive).
- •Are able to understand and comply with the study procedures.
- •Have a diagnosis of Stargardt disease type 1 (STGD1).
- •Clinical evidence consistent with Stargardt Disease type
- •For women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP), have a negative pregnancy test at Screening and, if due to receive active treatment, at Day
- •For both WOCBP and male subjects (or their female partners who are of child-bearing potential), agree to either strict abstinence or, if sexually active, use an acceptable contraception measure for 4 months from Day
- •Must have clear ocular media and adequate pupillary dilation in the study eye, including no allergy to dilating eyedrops, to permit good quality retinal imaging.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Have had any intraocular surgery (including cataract surgery) or thermal laser within 90 days of the Screening Visit or planned intraocular surgery (including cataract surgery) or thermal laser during the period of the study, in the study eye.
- •Are an immediate family member (e.g., child, sibling) of the Sponsor or study site personnel.
- •Have had any major surgical procedure within 30 days of the Screening Visit or planned or anticipated major surgery during the period of the study.
- •Have two pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in inherited retinal dystrophy (IRD) genes (other than ABCA4) or a single pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant in autosomal dominant or X-linked IRD genes.
- •Have a history of amblyopia in the study eye.
- •Are unwilling to stop taking the following products at Screening and throughout the study: a. Supplements containing vitamin A or beta-carotene, liver-based products. b. Prescription oral retinoids. Topical products containing vitamin A or retinoids are not exclusionary.
- •Have any ophthalmic history of gene therapy, stem cell therapy, surgical implantation of prosthetic retinal chips, or intravitreal or sub-retinal or supra-choroidal injections.
- •Have received any investigational therapy within 90 days of the Screening Visit or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer.
- •Have known serious allergies to the fluorescein dye.
- •Have any significant ocular or non-ocular disease/disorder.
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
The primary endpoint is safety and tolerability through Week 96 assessed by incidence and/or clinically significant changes in ocular and non-ocular adverse events (AEs).
The primary endpoint is safety and tolerability through Week 96 assessed by incidence and/or clinically significant changes in ocular and non-ocular adverse events (AEs).
Secondary Outcomes
- 3.Change from baseline in total lesion size growth (as measured by DDAF and well demarcated questionably decreased autofluorescence (QDAF)) on FAF imaging.
- 4. Change from baseline in ellipsoid zone area as measured by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
- 5. Change from baseline in retinal sensitivity based on microperimetry.
- 6. Change from baseline in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) using Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS).
- 7. Change from baseline in low luminance visual acuity (LLVA) using ETDRS.
- 8. Change from baseline in contrast sensitivity scores.
- 1. Change from baseline in lesion size growth (as measured by definitely decreased autofluorescence [DDAF]) on fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging compared between SB-007 and untreated control.
- 2. Change from baseline in lesion size growth (as measured by DDAF) on FAF imaging.
