In this video recorded for the ARVO 2020 Annual Meeting, Dr. Stephen R. Russell presents the 12-month results of a phase 1b/2 trial of sepofarsen. Following the results presentation, Dr. Russell and Ben Shaberman (Foundation Fighting Blindness) discuss the results, the potential and future of RNA therapies for inherited retinal diseases (IRDs). The Q&A starts at 09:29.

Description
In a phase 1b/2 clinical trial, 11 Leber congenital amaurosis 10 (LCA10) patients received intravitreal sepofarsen. The goal was to evaluate safety and change in various ophthalmic endpoints from baseline to month 12. Sepofarsen had a manageable safety profile and showed improvement in mean visual acuity, and full-field stimulus testing.
