Safety/Proof of Concept Study of Oral QLT091001 in Subjects With Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA) or Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) Due to Retinal Pigment Epithelial 65 Protein (RPE65) or Lecithin:Retinol Acyltransferase (LRAT) Mutations

May 13, 2013 updated by: QLT Inc.

Phase 1b Study to Evaluate QLT091001 in Subjects With Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA) or Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) Due to Inherited Deficiencies of Retinal Pigment Epithelial 65 Protein (RPE65) or Lecithin:Retinol Acyltransferase (LRAT)

The purpose of this study is:

  • to evaluate the safety of oral QLT091001
  • to evaluate whether 7-day treatment with oral QLT091001 can improve visual function in subjects with LCA or RP due to RPE65 or LRAT mutations
  • to evaluate duration of visual function improvement (if observed)
