An Open-Label Extension Study to Evaluate the Long-Term Safety and Tolerability of Ultevursen in Participants With Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) Due to Mutations in Exon 13 of the USH2A Gene
An Open-Label Extension Study to Evaluate the Long-Term Safety and Tolerability of Ultevursen in Participants With Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) Due to Mutations in Exon 13 of the USH2A Gene
The purpose of this Phase 2 Open-label study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of Ultevursen administered via intravitreal injection (IVT) in participants with Retinitis Pigmentosa due to mutations in exon 13 of the USH2A gene. This is a multicenter study which will enroll approximately 81 participants, however, the exact number enrolled will depend on the final number completing the 24-month LUNA trial and are eligible and willing to enroll in CAPELLA.
Approximately Eighty-One (81) RP participants will be enrolled in this study. These participants would have completed the Phase 2b study, LUNA, and are deemed eligible to participate in the open-label study, CAPELLA. The end of study (EOS) visit for LUNA will also serve as the Screening/Baseline visit for CAPELLA. All eligible participants enrolled in the Treatment Cohort will be given the study medication (Ultevursen) via intravitreal injection (IVT) every 6 months at Screening/Baseline, Month 6, Month 12 and Month 18. The starting dosage of Ultevursen will be determined by the participant's treatment cohort they were assigned in the LUNA study (active or sham cohort). Participants not participating in the CAPELLA Treatment Cohort, either due to Investigator discretion, or participant withdrawal, will be asked to enter the "Observation Only" Cohort. These participants will not receive IVT injection of Ultevursen, but will visit the trial location at Screening/Baseline, Month 12 and Month 24 for safety follow-up and other study related tests.
Inclusion Criteria:
Exclusion Criteria:
Treatment Cohort only: New ocular condition in the SE (e.g., severe infection, uncontrolled glaucoma, or retinal detachment) that, in the Investigator's opinion, makes the SE unsafe for IVT injection
Treatment Cohort only: Known hypersensitivity to antisense oligonucleotides or any constituents of the injection
Treatment Cohort only: Any clinically significant safety finding observed during the LUNA trial that, in the Investigator's opinion, compromises the participant's safety with continued dosing. Participants that have had study drug temporarily withdrawn or elective ocular surgery or AESI's during the LUNA trial may be reviewed on a case by case basis for eligibility into the Treatment Cohort (Note: These participants may still be eligible for the Observation Only Cohort at the Investigator's discretion and following discussion with medical monitor).
Both cohorts: Presence of any significant ocular or systemic disease, or laboratory abnormality, that would increase participant risk irrespective of treatment or interfere with study assessments
Both cohorts: Participation in any other interventional clinical trial involving an investigational drug or device during the course of the CAPELLA study
