OPGx-BEST1 for Best Vitelliform Macular Dystrophy (BVMD) and Autosomal-Recessive Bestrophinopathy (ARB)

This study is testing a new genetic therapy called OPGx-BEST1 for people with Best Vitelliform Macular Dystrophy (BVMD) or Autosomal-Recessive Bestrophinopathy (ARB). Researchers want to see if OPGx-BEST1 is safe and how well it works to treat these eye conditions. The therapy involves a single injection into one eye. The study will also help determine the best dose of OPGx-BEST1 for future development. You may be able to join if you are 18 or older and have BVMD or ARB. The study will look at any side effects and how well your vision is doing over 5 years.

Study design
This is an open-label (meaning you and your doctors will know what treatment you are receiving), dose-exploring study. It plans to enroll 10 adult participants with ARB or BVMD.
What's involved
You will receive a single injection of OPGx-BEST1 into one eye. The study will follow you for 5 years after the injection to monitor for side effects and treatment effectiveness.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for 5 years after the injection to assess safety and effectiveness.
