Stargardt Disease study: SB-007
Official title A Phase 1/2, First-in-Human Dose Escalation/Expansion Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Preliminary Efficacy of a Subretinal Injection of SB-007 in Subjects With Stargardt Disease (STGD1)
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06942572
What this study is testing
What is SB-007?
An investigational subretinal injection being studied as a potential treatment for Stargardt disease.
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 study is testing whether a single injection of SB‑007 into the eye is safe and might improve vision in Stargardt disease.
- Who it's for
- You may be able to join if you have Stargardt disease and meet the study’s health criteria.
- What's involved
- You will receive one injection of SB‑007 into the eye. After that, you will have regular check‑ups and eye tests to see how you feel and how your vision changes.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts about 96 weeks, with visits at the start, after the injection, and at several follow‑up times over the next two years.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
