简要总结

The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NR082 in the treatment of LHON caused by mitochondrial ND4 gene mutation. This study will enroll subjects aged ≥ 18 years old and ≤ 75 years old to receive a single unilateral intravitreal (IVT) injection of NR082 to evaluate its safety and efficacy. The clinical manifestations of all subjects are to be reduced visual acuity caused by LHON associated with ND4 mutation, with laboratory test showing G11778A mutation (a CLIA-certified laboratory) and reduced visual acuity lasted for > 6 months and < 10 years.

详细描述

At the dose-finding stage, the principle is that the Safety Review Committee (SRC) will decide whether to make dose adjustment based on the safety data of the starting dose. The starting dose is 1.5×109 vg, 0.05 mL eye/dose.The safety of the starting dose will be reviewed by the SRC, and dose escalation or de-escalation is by recommendation of the SRC.The safety of the starting dose will first be performed in 6 evaluable subjects.

Criteria for Dose Modification:

Dose Escalation:

If drug-related dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) events are observed in ≤ 2 of the 6 evaluable subjects within 6 weeks after the dosing of NR082 at the starting dose, the dose can be escalated to 4.5×109 vg, 0.05 mL eye/dose (high dose) after the approval by SRC.

Dose De-escalation:
