Recruiting PHASE1, PHASE2 Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG)

New treatment option for Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG)

Official title GVB-2001 Gene Therapy Via Intracameral Injection for the Treatment of Primary Open Angle Glaucoma

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06921317

What this study is testing

What is GVB-2001-high dose?

GVB-2001-high dose is an investigational medicine, given as an injectable medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for primary open-angle glaucoma (poag).

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This is an investigator initiated, single center, open label, non-randomized, exploratory clinical study. The purpose is to assess the safety and preliminary efficacy of gene therapy GVB-2001 (ScAAV2-dnRhoA) delivered via intracameral injection to the anterior segment of the eye for the treatment of subjects with primary open-angle glaucoma.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
  • Which group you join is decided by chance.
