Study Summary

Study OpCT-001-101 is a Phase 1/2a first-in-human, multisite, 2-part interventional study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and the effect on clinical outcomes of OpCT-001 in up to approximately 54 adults with primary photoreceptor (PR) disease. Phase 1 will focus on safety and features a dose-escalation design. Phase 2 is designed to gather additional safety data and assess the effect of OpCT-001 on measures of visual function, functional vision, and anatomic measures of engraftment in different clinical subgroups.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Genetically confirmed diagnosis of primary photoreceptor (PR) disease

  • BCVA at Screening for Phase 1: LogMAR 3.9 to LogMAR 1.0. BCVA at Screening for Phase 2: ETDRS letter score 20 and 60.

  • Retinal structure examination in the study eye (SE) demonstrating regions suitablefor cell administration.

Exclusion

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of/currently active clinically relevant, ocular inflammation or infection

  • Glaucoma or other significant optic neuropathy

  • Diabetic macular edema or diabetic retinopathy

  • Clinically significant cystoid macular edema

  • Spherical equivalent refractive error of greater than 8.00 diopters myopia

  • Ocular surgery ≤3 months before Screening

  • Monocular vision (ie, no light perception in the fellow eye)

  • Presence of clinically significant anti-OpCT-001 HLA antibodies at Screening

  • Currently active malignancy, or history of malignancy within 5 years before OpCT-001administration. Exception: Basal cell carcinoma that has been definitively treated.

  • Any current infection (bacterial/viral/fungal) that could put the participant atrisk from immunosuppression

  • History of any cell therapy, gene therapy, or retinal implant at any time

  • Previously received a bone marrow or solid organ transplant

Study Description

Phase 1 will include 4 planned dose levels to be administered across 4 cohorts (Cohorts 1 through 4). Participants will be assigned to receive OpCT-001.

Dose escalation in Phase 1 will be conducted using a standard 3+3 scheme in which a total of 12 to 24 legally blind participants (~3 to 6 per cohort) will receive OpCT-001. Phase 2 is planned to enroll a maximum of 15 participants per cohort in 2 cohorts (Cohorts 5 and 6) to evaluate 2 dose levels of OpCT-001 that will be selected based on Phase 1 safety and tolerability data. Phase 2 participants will be randomized 1:1 to either Cohort 5 or Cohort 6. Phase 2 participants and the investigator/study site personnel outside of the surgical team will be masked to OpCT-001 dose assignments.
