Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the long term safety and tolerability of ALK-001 (C20-D3-retinyl acetate), and to explore the effects of ALK-001 on the progression of Stargardt disease in patients between the ages of 8 and 70 years old. Funding Source - FDA OOPD


Clinical Trial Description

This study evaluates the effects of orally-administered ALK-001 on the progression of Stargardt disease (ABCA4-related). Stargardt disease is a rare genetic disorder that leads to damage to the retina and results in legal blindness. Stargardt disease is caused by a defective ABCA4 gene, which affects the processing of vitamin A in the eye and leads to the formation of toxic vitamin A aggregates (called "vitamin A dimers") in the eye. Vitamin A dimers are thought to contribute to vision loss in Stargardt disease. ALK-001, the investigational drug, is a chemically-modified vitamin A designed as a replacement of vitamin A to prevent the formation of toxic vitamin A dimers in the eye. Trial participants will receive either ALK-001 or placebo, and follow-up visits will take place periodically for up to 24 months. There is currently no treatment for Stargardt disease. ;
