LANDSCAPE - RPGR-005 - Clinical Trial
What is the Purpose of this Study?
People in this study will have two eye surgeries. The study medicine will be placed in the back part of the eye, where the retina is. First, only one eye will have surgery. The second eye will have surgery either 30 to 60 days later, or 7 to 14 days later, depending on when the person joins the study.
They will also take steroid medicine and use eye drops. After the surgeries, doctors will check on them for about 5 years to see how they are healing and how well the medicine works.
