About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy Study of a Single Intravitreal Injection of rAAV2-ND4 Treatment of Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy

This study is meant to assess the safety and efficacy of rAAV2-ND4 treatment of Leber hereditary optic neuropathy with 11778 LHON mutation.

Read the detailed description

Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) is a maternally inherited ocular disorder associated with a mutation in mtDNA . The common manifestation is visual loss which caused by the respiratory chain enzymes complex dysfunction resulting in increased oxidative stress enzymes production.

Material and Method Seven patients with 11778 LHON mutation were randomly treated with a Single IVT Injection of recombinant Adeno-Associated Virus-NADH dehydrogenase, subunit 4 (complex I)(rAAV2-ND4)(0.05ml).The dose was 5 × 10^9 vg/0.05 mL for patients younger than 12 years old, and 1 × 10^10 vg/0.05 mL for patients older than 12 years old. The visual acuity, visual evoked potential (VEP),optical coherence tomography( OCT), computerized visual field, electroretinograms(ERG), retinal nerve fiber layer(RNFL)and Liver and kidney function in plasma were compared before and after treatment at 1,3,and 6, months interval.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing rAAV2-ND4 in people with Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy, run by Bin Li at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 May 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The Best Corrected Visual Acuity(BCVA) (time frame: Up to 3 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01267422, which also lists 32 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Jan 2018.
