Summary

This trial is testing a new drug for Leber Congenital Amaurosis, a rare disease that causes blindness. The drug is being injected into the retina in order to see if it is safe and effective.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults and children with Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA) due to specific GUCY2D gene mutations. Adults must have very limited vision, while kids can have slightly better sight. Participants need some retinal structure visible on scans and agree to contraception and not donating biological materials post-treatment.
What is being tested?
The study tests different doses of SAR439483, injected under the retina, for safety and effectiveness in LCA patients with GUCY2D mutations. It includes a single injection followed by monitoring. Other medications like steroids may be used to manage side effects or prepare the eye.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects might include discomfort from the injection, inflammation inside the eye, increased eye pressure, cataracts, or other changes affecting vision. Systemic side effects could occur due to steroid use such as mood swings, weight gain, or increased blood sugar.
