RESCUE and REVERSE Long-term Follow-up (RESTORE)

February 27, 2026 updated by: GenSight Biologics

Long-term Follow-up of ND4 LHON Subjects Treated With GS010 Ocular Gene Therapy in the RESCUE or REVERSE Phase III Clinical Trials (RESTORE)

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of GS010, a gene therapy, and assess the quality of life in subjects with LHON due to the G11778A ND4 mitochondrial mutation and who were treated in the Rescue or Reverse studies.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Seven investigational centers from the RESCUE and REVERSE studies also participated in the RESTORE study, located in the European union and in the USA.

Primary objectives: to assess the long term safety of intravitreal injection up to 5 years of post treatment in subjects who were treated in the RESCUE or REVERSE studies.

Secondary objectives: (1) to assess the long-term efficacy of intravitreal GS010 administration up to 5 years post-treatment in subjects who were treated in the RESCUE or REVERSE studies; and (2) to assess the quality of life (QoL) in subjects who were treated with GS010 in the RESCUE or REVERSE studies for up to 5 years post-treatment.

Methodology: This was a Phase III prospective long-term follow-up (LTFU) clinical study of subjects previously treated with GS010 and Sham during 2 Phase III studies-RESCUE and REVERSE. The LTFU study followed subjects for an additional 3 years, for a total of 5 years post-injection. The LTFU study included 5 visits at 2, 2.5, 3, 4, and 5 years after the investigational medicinal product (IMP) injection. Safety, efficacy, and QoL variables were assessed during each of the 5 LTFU visits, and descriptive summaries and statistical testing were used for the analysis of the data.

This report presents the final analysis of results at Year 5 after treatment administration in RESCUE and REVERSE.

Number of analysed subjects: all subjects completing RECUE and REVERSE studies who provided consent for the RESTORE study: 62 subjects.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: GS010-treated Eyes
Lenadogene nolparvovec Intravitreal ocular unilateral Injection Each participant will have one eye randomly selected to receive a single injection of GS010 and the other eye will receive a sham injection. GS010-treated Eyes: GS010 is a recombinant adeno-associated viral vector serotype 2 (rAAV2/2) containing the wild-type ND4 gene (rAAV2/2-ND4). Participants will receive a single dose of GS010 in one of their randomly selected eyes, via intravitreal injection containing 9E10 viral genomes in 90μL balanced salt solution (BSS) plus 0.001% Pluronic F68®.

Other Names:
  • Lenadogene Nolparvovec
Sham Comparator: Sham-treated Eyes
Sham Intravitreal ocular unilateral Injection Each participant will have one eye randomly selected to receive GS010 and the other eye will receive a sham injection. Eyes receiving sham injection will undergo the same preparatory procedures as eyes receiving GS010 injection, including pupillary dilation, topical anti-infection and topical anesthetic procedures. Sham intravitreal injection will be performed by applying pressure to the eye at the location of a typical intravitreal injection procedure using the blunt end of a syringe without a needle.
