An Open-label, Dose-ascending Study of IGT001 for Retinitis Pigmentosa

Prior treatment

• As determined by the investigator, the study eye has concurrent conditions in addition to retinitis pigmentosa that:
  • Affect central vision, or
  • Increase the safety risk for the participant, or
  • Impact efficacy or safety assessments or data collection, or
  • Require surgical or medical intervention due to ocular diseases or history, such as retinal detachment or a history of retinal detachment, wet age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, retinal vein occlusion, uveitis, optic nerve disease, a history of glaucoma or ocular hypertension, severe or grade 3 non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, significant media opacity, or an inability to achieve adequate pupil dilation
• Intraocular pressure (IOP) \> 21 mmHg in either eye or current use of any intraocular pressure-lowering medications

Other illness

• The study eye cannot rule out the differential diagnosis of pseudoretinitis pigmentosa or cancer-associated retinopathies.
• History of malignant tumors (except for patients in remission for more than five years and those with basal cell carcinoma of the skin), end-stage major organ diseases (including heart failure, severe arrhythmias, stroke or transient ischemic attack, immunosuppressive or autoimmune conditions, severe mental disorders, epilepsy, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, renal failure, or any chronic systemic disease requiring continuous systemic corticosteroids, anticoagulants, or immunosuppressive therapy)
• History of glaucoma in either eye or a glaucoma diagnosis at screening
• History of ocular hypertension in either eye or a diagnosis of ocular hypertension at screening
• History of allergy, intolerance, or adverse reactions to any procedures involved in the study, including but not limited to a history of allergy/adverse reactions to contrast agents, needle phobia, or hemophobia
• History of ocular surface damage or drug-induced toxicity from medications such as deferoxamine, chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil), tamoxifen, phenothiazines, or ethambutol
• History of allergy or adverse reactions to products containing dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)
• History of allergy to gentamicin

Other

• Inability or unwillingness to comply with any study-related procedures, including genetic testing, blood sample collection, clinical examinations, or procedures requiring pupil dilation, topical anesthesia, or contrast agent injection

• Adults aged ≥ 18 years at the time of signing the informed consent form, regardless of gender
• Clinical diagnosis of retinitis pigmentosa based on medical history and specialized examinations
• Willing to undergo genetic mutation testing, with results confirming known genetic mutations associated with hereditary retinal degeneration and related diseases
• Willing to provide blood samples for HLA typing
• Blood cell counts (hematocrit, hemoglobin, white blood cells, platelets) within the normal range, or outside the normal range but deemed clinically insignificant by the investigator
• Negative screening results for infectious diseases (hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV), with no history of drug abuse (confirmed by negative urine test)
• Female participants of childbearing potential (defined as those who have not undergone surgical sterilization or have not been postmenopausal for at least one year) must undergo a urine pregnancy test at the time of admission (before injection), and the result must be negative.Female or male participants of childbearing potential must use medically approved contraceptive measures, such as abstinence, intrauterine devices (IUDs), or dual barrier methods (e.g., condom plus diaphragm), for at least 30 days before treatment and at least one year after treatment
