Clinical Safety in MGT009
- Doses for the expansion cohort were selected based upon the balance of safety and activity observed in the dose- escalation phase of the study
- AAV5-RPGR gene therapy demonstrated an AE profile that is anticipated and manageable
- Most AEs were related to the surgical delivery procedure, transient, and resolved without intervention
- Dose-escalationphase SAEs (previously reported)1:
- 1 retinal detachment: related to study procedure and resolved with treatment, with no sequelae
- 1 panuveitis (low dose)
- Dose-expansionphase SAE
- 1 increased intraocular pressure, resolved on treatment
- No dose-limiting events
- Following the implementation of a modified prophylactic steroid regimen for the expansion phase, there was a reduction in inflammation-related AEs in the expansion phase of the study
