Abstract

Leber's congenital amaurosis (LCA) is a group of inherited blinding diseases with onset during childhood. One form of the disease, LCA2, is caused by mutations in the retinal pigment epithelium–specific 65-kDa protein gene (RPE65). We investigated the safety of subretinal delivery of a recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) carrying RPE65 complementary DNA (cDNA) (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00516477). Three patients with LCA2 had an acceptable local and systemic adverse-event profile after delivery of AAV2.hRPE65v2. Each patient had a modest improvement in measures of retinal function on subjective tests of visual acuity. In one patient, an asymptomatic macular hole developed, and although the occurrence was considered to be an adverse event, the patient had some return of retinal function. Although the follow-up was very short and normal vision was not achieved, this study provides the basis for further gene therapy studies in patients with LCA.

Patient 2 — Subretinal Injection, and Obstacle Course Before and After Treatment.

Leber's congenital amaurosis (LCA) is a group of inherited disorders involving retinal degeneration with severe vision loss noted in early infancy. The condition is usually identified through behaviors, including abnormal roving-eye movements (nystagmus). The diagnosis is confirmed by both abnormal electroretinographic responses and pupillary light reflexes.1-4 Most patients with LCA have severe visual impairment throughout childhood; vision deteriorates over time, and patients usually have total blindness by the third or fourth decade of life.4 There is no treatment for LCA.

The LCA2 form of the disease is associated with mutations in RPE65, which encodes a protein requisite for the isomerohydrolase activity of the retinal pigment epithelium. This activity produces 11-cis-retinal from all-trans-retinyl esters.5-8 In the absence of 11-cis-retinal, the natural ligand and chromophore of the opsins of rod and cone photoreceptors, the opsins cannot capture light and transduce it into electrical responses to initiate vision.4,7,9 Although this biochemical defect results in an immediate and profound impairment of visual function, histologic degeneration of retinal cells is delayed in patients with LCA2 and the relevant animal models, even at a time when there exist behaviors that indicate blindness and nearly absent electrophysiological responses.7,10-12

Recombinant AAV2.hRPE65v2 is a replication-deficient AAV vector containing RPE65 cDNA.13 In vitro, AAV2.hRPE65v2 induces the production of RPE65 protein in target cells. AAV2.hRPE65v2 that was injected behind the retina of animal models of LCA2 resulted in rapid development of visual function.13 We have documented long-term, sustained (>7.5 years, with ongoing observation) restoration of visual function in a canine model of LCA2 after a single subretinal injection of AAV2.RPE65.13-15 This and additional safety and efficacy data13 provide the basis for a phase 1 trial of gene therapy in human patients with LCA2.

Methods

Surgical Delivery of the Vector

The transgene cassette in the AAV2.hRPE65v2 vector carries a chicken β actin (CBA) promoter that drives the expression of the human RPE65 cDNA.13 The excipient is supplemented with a surfactant to prevent the loss of the vector to surfaces in contact with the product (see the Methods section of the Supplementary Appendix, available with the full text of this article at www.nejm.org).13 The vector was manufactured by the Center for Cellular and Molecular Therapeutics at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and current Good Manufacturing Practices were used.

Surgery was performed under general anesthesia with the use of a standard three-port pars plana vitrectomy with removal of the posterior cortical vitreous (see the Methods section of the Supplementary Appendix).16 An injection of 1.5×1010 vector genome of AAV2.hRPE65v2 in a volume of 150 μl of phosphate-buffered saline supplemented with Pluronic F-68 NF Prill Poloxamer 188 was administered into the subretinal space, thereby creating a localized dome-shaped retinal detachment (Figure 1Figure 1Retinal Appearance and Morphologic Features before and after Surgery in the Three Patients. and video).16

Safety and Efficacy

Patients were evaluated before surgery and at designated follow-up visits after surgery by complete ophthalmic examination, a general physical examination, and clinical and laboratory tests, including an assessment of vector biodistribution and immune response.

Efficacy for each patient was monitored with objective and subjective measures of vision by comparison of the average of at least four preoperative values with the average of at least four measurements taken at least 1 month after injection. Objective measures included evaluation of the pupillary light reflex and nystagmus testing. Subjective measures included standard tests of visual acuity, the Goldmann visual-field examination, and mobility testing to assess differences in the ability of the patients to navigate a standardized obstacle course (Table 1Table 1Characteristics of the Patients and Test Results before and after Injection., and Figure 3 and the Methods section of the Supplementary Appendix and video).

Visual acuity was measured by trained vision examiners using a standard protocol involving Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) charts and letter counts. Letter scores were converted to the log of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR), on a scale ranging from 0.00 to 2.00, with higher values indicating poorer vision. Eyes that could detect hand motions were assigned a score that was one line worse than the largest printed line on the chart tested at a standardized distance of 4 m (<20/1600) to provide the most conservative evaluation in terms of underestimating the actual extent of visual impairment.17

Results

Characteristics of the Patients

Three consecutive patients who had LCA2 and were between the ages of 19 and 26 years provided written informed consent (see the Supplementary Appendix). The patients were enrolled in the trial from September 2007 through January 2008. Eligibility was confirmed, and the eye with worse function was selected for delivery of AAV2.hRPE65v2 (Table 1 of the Supplementary Appendix). In all three patients, the right eye was selected for surgery (Table 1).

Safety of Subretinal Injection of Vector

In Patient 1, the injection exposed the superonasal macula and the retina peripheral to the superonasal vascular arcade; the macula was exposed in Patients 2 and 3, with some extension beyond the temporal arcade in Patient 3 (Figure 1B and 1C). An epiretinal membrane that had been noted during baseline studies in Patient 2's right (injected) eye was not removed before injection (Figure 1A and 1D). The localized retinal detachments resolved within 14 hours after surgery (Figure 1C and 1D). All postoperative retinal examinations were unremarkable except for the formation of an outer lamellar cyst in the fovea of Patient 2 that was noted on day 5 after injection. The retina was imaged by optical coherence tomography (OCT) on day 5 (Figure 1D). By day 14, a macular hole, detectable both on ophthalmoscopy and on OCT, had developed. The patient was unaware of this change. The hole had not expanded at the subsequent visits (Figure 1D). There were no serious adverse events, as defined by the International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use or the Food and Drug Administration, in any of the patients (Table 2 of the Supplementary Appendix).

Vector DNA sequences were found only in a tear sample from Patient 1 on day 1 after surgery. There was no evidence of systemic dissemination of vector sequences in any of the patients at any time. There was no evidence of humoral immune response to the RPE65 protein or of cell-mediated immune responses to AAV2 capsid or RPE65 protein. Neutralizing antibody titers to the AAV2 capsid increased in Patient 2 and diminished with time.

Changes in Vision

Pupillometry

The normal pupillary light reflex is consensual — in other words, a stimulus delivered to either eye alone will cause both pupils to contract equally. When the right eye is stimulated briefly with light, both pupils constrict and then begin to dilate (Figure 2AFigure 2Representative Results of Pupillometry in a Control Subject and before and after Subretinal Injection in the Right Eye of the Three Patients.). Before the eyes have fully recovered, the left eye is then stimulated. Again, both pupils constrict simultaneously and to a similar degree. The pattern continues as stimuli alternate between the right eye and the left eye. The first stimulus in this protocol elicits the greatest response (constriction amplitude) because in subsequent stimuli, the timing is such that the pupils do not have time to return to their baseline diameter. The pattern is similar when the left eye is the first eye to be stimulated (Figure 2B).

Baseline testing showed that the pupillary light reflexes of the three patients were much less sensitive to light than those of control subjects. Thus, although the pupils of control subjects responded with a constriction of nearly 2 mm to a dim stimulus delivered to either eye (0.04 scotopic lux, 200 msec) (Figure 2A and 2B), baseline responses of the three patients to the same stimulus were negligible. Before injection, Patients 1 and 2 had a weak response even to 10.0 lux, which is more intense than 0.04 lux by a factor of 250 (Figure 2C through 2F). Even Patient 3, whose right eye had a Snellen equivalent of 20/640 at baseline, had a weak pupillary response to both 0.04 lux and 10.0 lux (Figure 2G through 2J).

After injection, the responsiveness of the patients' right (injected) eyes was reliably greater than that of their left (uninjected) eyes. We observed a strong response in Patient 3, when the dimmest stimulus (0.04 lux, 200 msec) was initially delivered to the right eye 1 month after injection (Figure 2G). In contrast, we observed minimal constriction when the left eye was stimulated with a “dim flashlight” (0.04 lux). In the subsequent trial, when the same dim stimulus was presented initially to the left eye, the pupillary light reflexes of both pupils were minimal, but when the stimulus was presented to the right eye, again a robust response was recorded (Figure 2H), a pattern that was repeated with successive alternating flashes. The net result was the appearance of a relative afferent pupillary defect, in which the injected eye drives the pupillary light reflex, whereas the uninjected eye remains defective. Patients 1 and 2 showed improvement in the responsivity of the right (injected) eye to the 10.0-lux stimulus (Figure 2C and 2E) relative to that of the left (uninjected) eye (Figure 2D and 2F, shown at 4.75 months and 2.75 months after injection, respectively). Moreover, for both Patients 1 and 2, there was a clear difference in responsivity to the second stimulus in the trial, such that stimulation of the right eye produced the stronger response even if the left eye was stimulated first (Figure 2D and 2F).

We performed statistical comparisons between the response of each pupil after initial stimulation of the right (injected) eye and the response of the same pupil after initial stimulation of the left (uninjected) eye. For Patient 3, in 16 of 18 such trials, stimulation of the right eye yielded a greater amplitude of response, and the null hypothesis of no difference was rejected (P<0.001). The initial stimulation of the right eye produced a greater response in 15 of 17 paired trials for Patient 1 (P=0.003) and for 14 of 14 paired trials for Patient 2 (P<0.001). In a similar way, Student's t-tests for the difference in magnitude of pupillary light reflexes resulting from stimulation of the right eye and the left eye were highly significant for Patient 1 (P<0.001), Patient 2 (P<0.02), and Patient 3 (P<0.001) (see the Results section of the Supplementary Appendix).

In summary, after injection of AAV2.hRPE65v2, each of the three eyes that received injection became more effective in driving the pupillary response. Each eye that received injection became approximately three times as sensitive to light as it had been at baseline, and the sensitivity of the eye that received injection surpassed that of the (previously better functioning) other eye.

Effects on Vision

Starting 2 weeks after surgery, all three patients reported having improved vision in dimly lit environments. Improvements in the patients' pupillary light reflexes were accompanied by significant improvements in visual acuity. Testing showed that the postoperative average visual-acuity logMAR score improved by 0.28 for Patient 1, whose scores increased from hand-motion recognition (0 letters) to a Snellen equivalent of 20/1050 (approximately 3 lines on the eye chart) (P<0.001 by the Wilcoxon rank-sum test). The logMAR score for Patient 2 improved by 0.45, from hand-motion recognition (0 letters) to a Snellen equivalent of 20/710 (22.5 letters, or >4.5 lines on the chart) (P<0.001 by the Wilcoxon rank-sum test). Patient 2 also showed an increase in visual acuity in his left (uninjected) eye, with an increase in the Snellen equivalent from 20/500 to 20/220 and an improvement in the logMAR score of 0.36 (Table 1). For the right (injected) eye of Patient 3, the change in the logMAR score was 0.34, more than 3.5 lines of letters (P=0.002 by the Wilcoxon rank-sum test).

We observed a trend toward improvement in the visual-field area of each of the three subjects (Table 1, and Figure 3 of the Supplementary Appendix). Although visual-field testing in groups of patients with severe vision impairment shows substantial variability,18,19 the observed enlargements exceeded the variation in the eye that had not received injection.

All three patients had significant nystagmus at baseline (see the Results section of the Supplementary Appendix). After injection of AAV2.hRPE65v2, the patients had a decrease in both monocular and binocular amplitude and frequency of nystagmus in primary position, with eccentric gaze, and with monocular cover.

In tests of ability to navigate an obstacle course before the injection of AAV2.hRPE65v2, Patients 1 and 2 had great difficulty and collided with the majority of the 14 obstacles and strayed off course many times (Figure 2A of the Supplementary Appendix and video). Patient 3, who had more central vision than the other two patients, was challenged only by objects in her peripheral vision. After injection, Patient 2 was able to follow the arrows on the course (video).

Discussion

All three patients with LCA2 who received AAV2.hRPE65v2 by subretinal injection showed evidence of improvement in retinal function. Improvement in the pupillary light reflex by objective physiological testing was accompanied by improved values in subjective psychophysical measures. Testing revealed gains in visual acuity at 6 weeks; thereafter, there was a slower rate of improvement. Reduction in nystagmus, such as the reduction we previously reported in canine studies,20 may account for the improved visual acuity in the left (uninjected) eye of Patient 2. The improvements in the eyes that received injection exceeded the limits of test–retest variability and were of a magnitude believed to be of functional importance.17 However, a placebo effect may have contributed to the improved measures and cannot be ruled out in this unmasked surgical trial.

In our study, testing of the pupillary light reflex not only confirmed increased retinal sensitivity in the eye that received injection but also showed better function after surgery, as compared with function in the other eye. Although in control subjects there is variability in the latency of pupil movement and in the amplitude of pupil constriction as a function of light intensity, latency and amplitude are normally well matched between the two eyes of individual subjects.21-23 Finally, since we did not inject empty vector, we cannot be sure that the improvement reflects expression of the protein encoded in the AAV vector.

There were no apparent local or systemic adverse events elicited by exposure to the AAV vector. The macular hole that developed in Patient 2's right eye 2 weeks after subretinal injection did not appear to be related to AAV2.hRPE65v2, since we observed no signs of inflammation or acute retinal toxicity. We hypothesize that the macular hole was caused by contraction of a preexisting membrane stimulated by the surgical procedure, although it is possible that it was a direct result of the surgical procedure itself.24,25 Whereas the development of a macular hole would not be expected to affect retinal function in patients with a loss of central vision similar to that of our patients, it could critically affect the vision of those with a lesser degree of retinal degeneration.

The clinical benefit to the patients has been sustained during the 6 months since the experimental treatment of LCA2 in Patient 1. Longer follow-up and a larger number of patients will be needed to define measures of safety and efficacy and to identify factors influencing the extent and duration of visual recovery. It is possible that efficacy will be improved if treatment is applied before amblyopia and retinal degeneration are established (i.e., in a pediatric population). Our study provides the foundation for gene-therapy approaches to the treatment of LCA and possibly other forms of retinal degeneration.
