Summary
The purpose of this Phase 2b study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ultevursen administered via intravitreal injection (IVT) in subjects with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) due to mutations in exon 13 of the USH2A gene. This is a multicenter Double-masked, Randomized, Sham-controlled study which will enroll 81 subjects.
Description
A total of eighty-one (81) RP subjects will be enrolled in this study, randomized in a 2:1 ratio to either ultevursen or sham procedure, respectively. Subjects randomized to the active treatment group will receive therapy with ultevursen administered via intravitreal (IVT) injection to the treatment eye (TE) on Day 1 and at Months 6, 12, and 18. Subjects randomized to sham will undergo a sham procedure in the TE at the corresponding timepoints.
