Small Molecule for USH3A Moving Toward Clinical Trialĭr. The Foundation is funding Atsena through its RD Fund, a venture philanthropy fund for emerging therapies in, or moving toward, clinical trials. Atsena Therapeutics Developing USH1B Gene TherapyĪtsena Therapeutics is developing a dual vector AAV gene therapy for people with mutations in MYO7A, the gene, when mutated, causes Usher syndrome 1B. USH1F is a subtype of Usher syndrome caused by mutations in the gene PCDH15. Additional funding for the project will be provided by the Marjorie C. The Foundation is partnering with the Usher 1F Collaborative, a family-founded nonprofit driving research for Usher syndrome type 1F (USH1F), to launch a natural history study, the Rate of Progression in PCDH15-Related Retinal Degeneration in Usher Syndrome 1F (RUSH1F). Foundation Launches USH1F Natural History Study In previous Foundation-funded lab studies at Johns Hopkins University, NACA slowed retinal degeneration in rodent models of RP. Known as N-acetylcysteine-amide (NACA), the molecule is designed to slow vision loss by protecting retinal cells from oxidative stress. The Foundation Fighting Blindness is investing up to $7.5 million to advance the promising, emerging drug for retinitis pigmentosa, Usher syndrome, and related conditions.
#Usher synonym trial#
The trial is for people with Usher syndrome. Nacuity Conducting Clinical Trial for Oral Antioxidant Therapyĭallas-based Nacuity has launched a Phase 1/2 clinical trial in Australia for its oral antioxidant
More than 100 patients are enrolled at approximately 20 sites in the US, Canada, and Europe. A major goal of the study, known as RUSH2A, is to better understand the course of vision loss in people with USH2A mutations, so that researchers can design successful clinical trials for potential therapies and identify patients for the treatment studies. The Foundation Fighting Blindness has launched a natural history study for people with mutations in the USH2A gene, which are leading causes of Usher syndrome and retinitis pigmentosa. Foundation Fighting Blindness Conducting RUSH2A Natural Study for People with USH2A Mutations The company has received authorization from the FDA to launch a Phase 1/2 clinical trial for people with retinitis pigmentosa. RdCVF is naturally secreted by rods, the retinal cells that provide night and peripheral vision. Scientists demonstrated that RdCVF prevented or slowed the degeneration of cones, the cells in the retina that provide central and color vision and enable people to read, drive, and recognize faces. The emerging therapy performed well in several previous lab studies funded by the Foundation Fighting Blindness. SparingVision Plans Clinical Trial to Evaluate Sight-Saving Protein for RPĪ spin-off of the Institut de la Vision, SparingVision was established to clinically develop and commercialize a protein known as rod-derived cone-viability factor (RdCVF).
