PurposeTo assess the safety and efficacy of AAV8-hCARp.hCNGB3in participants withCNGB3-associated achromatopsia (ACHM).DesignProspective, phase 1/2 (NCT03001310), open-label, nonrandomized clinical trial.MethodsThe study enrolled 23 adults and children withCNGB3-associated ACHM. In the dose-escalation phase, adult participants were administered 1 of 3 AAV8-hCARp.hCNGB3dose levels in the worse-seeing eye (up to 0.5 mL). After a maximum tolerated dose was established in adults, an expansion phase was conducted in children ≥3 years old. All participants received topical and oral corticosteroids. Safety and efficacy parameters, including treatment-related adverse events and visual acuity, retinal sensitivity, color vision, and light sensitivity, were assessed for 6 months.ResultsAAV8-hCARp.hCNGB3(11 adults, 12 children) was safe and generally well tolerated. Intraocular inflammation occurred in 9 of 23 participants and was mainly mild or moderate in severity. Severe cases occurred primarily at the highest dose. Two events were considered serious and dose limiting. All intraocular inflammation resolved following topical and systemic steroids. There was no consistent pattern of change from baseline to week 24 for any efficacy assessment. However, favorable changes were observed for individual participants across several assessments, including color vision (n = 6/23), photoaversion (n = 11/20), and vision-related quality-of-life questionnaires (n = 21/23).ConclusionsAAV8-hCARp.hCNGB3forCNGB3-associated ACHM demonstrated an acceptable safety and tolerability profile. Improvements in several efficacy parameters indicate that AAV8-hCARp.hCNGB3gene therapy may provide benefit. These findings, with the development of additional sensitive and quantitative end points, support continued investigation.
