Clinical Result

Cohort1: dose level 1
Administration route subretinal injection
Dosage 1E10 vg
Pts 3
Age Adult, Older_Adult
Outcome In the low-dose group, BCVA improved significantly, with patient 1 improving from 33 to 40 letters, patient 2 from 28 to 41 letters, and patient 4 from 46 to 58 letters after cataract removal. The median baseline BCVA was 40 ETDRS letters and the median CPT decreased from 549 μm to 311 μm at week 52.
Adverse reactions No serious clinical adverse events

Cohort2: dose level 2
Administration route subretinal injection
Dosage 1E11 vg
Pts 3
Age Adult, Older_Adult
Outcome In the high-dose group, patient 5's BCVA improved to baseline levels despite initial fibrovascular scarring, patient 6 improved from 54 to 64 letters, and patient 8 from 34 to 49 letters. The median baseline BCVA was 40 ETDRS letters, improving to 50 letters at week 52, with median CPT decreasing from 549 μm to 311 μm.
