Arm Description

Single-dose Subretinal Administration of VGR-R01

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Incidence of adverse events
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a product; the event will not need to have a causal relationship with the treatment.
Incidence of serious adverse events
A serious adverse event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence at any dose that resulted in death; life threatening; require inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; result in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; result in congenital anomaly/birth defect.
Number of Participants with Clinically Significant Change from Baseline in Vital Signs
Vital signs (temperature, respiratory rate, pulse rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure) will be obtained with participant in the seated position, after having sat calmly for at least 5 minutes. Clinical significance of vital signs will be determined at the investigator's discretion.
Number of Participants with Clinically Laboratory Abnormalities
Laboratory Tests will include hematology, coagulation, blood chemistry, urinalysis, serology, and pregnancy test, etc. If any potential changes accompanied by clinical symptoms, or results in a change of medical intervention, the findings will be considered as clinically significant based on investigator's decision.
Number of Participants with Clinically Significant Change from Baseline in Ophthalmic Examination Findings
Ophthalmic Examination will include BCVA, IOP, slitlamp examination, angiography and SD-OCT, etc. If any potential changes accompanied by clinical symptoms, or results in a change of medical intervention, the findings will be considered as clinically significant based on investigator's decision.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Best-Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA)
BCVA will be assessed for both eyes using the Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) visual acuity (VA) chart. BCVA test should be performed prior to pupil dilation, and distance refraction should be carried out before BCVA is measured.
Changes from baseline of Visual Field Index (%) in Visual Field (Humphery perimetry) indexes
The VFI can range from 100% (normal visual field) to 0% (perimetrically blind field).
Changes from baseline of Mean Deviation (dB) in Visual Field (Humphery perimetry) indexes
Normal values are typically within 0dB and -2dB.
Changes from baseline of Pattern Standard Deviation (dB) in Visual Field (Humphery perimetry) indexes
A typical "normal" dB reading is around 30. The numeric dB graph should be studied next. The dBs tested by the Humphrey analyzer range between 0 and 50 dB (0 is the brightest and 50 is the dimmest).
Changes from baseline in Mobility testing scores
The mobility score range is between -1 (the worst functional vision) and 6 (the best).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
A Multicenter, Open-Label, Non-Randomized, Uncontrolled Study of VGR-R01 in Patients with Bietti Crystalline Dystrophy.
Detailed Description
VGR-R01 is a novel AAV vector carrying the human CYP4V2 coding sequence. This study is intended to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single subretinal administration of VGR-R01. All subjects will undergo at least 52 weeks of safety observation and will be encouraged to enroll in an extension study to evaluate the long-term safety of VGR-R01 for a total of five years.
