An Open-Label Extension Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of QR 421a in Subjects With Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) Due to Mutations in Exon 13 of the USH2A Gene (Helia)

PQ-421a-002

PQ-421a-002 (Helia) is an open-label, extension study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of QR 421a (ultevursen) administered via intravitreal (IVT) injection in one or both eyes, in subjects ≥ 12 years of age with RP due to mutations in exon 13 of the USH2A gene, for an anticipated period of 24 months, or until provision of continued treatment by other means is available, provided the subject's benefit-risk determination remains positive.

Principal Inclusion Criteria: 1. Subjects who have participated in a preceding QR-421a study and who may derive benefit from continued treatment with QR 421a, and/or continued follow up, as assessed by the Investigator, in consultation and agreement with the Medical Monitor 2. An adult (≥ 18 years) willing and able to provide informed consent for participation prior to performing any study related procedures, and suitable verbal, auditory, written and/or tactile sign language communication as to allow informed consent to be obtained, in the opinion of the Investigator. OR A minor (12 to \< 18 years) able to provide age-appropriate assent for study participation, and with a parent or legal guardian willing and able to provide written permission for the subject's participation prior to performing any study related procedures. Principal Exclusion Criteria: 1. Presence of any significant ocular or non-ocular disease/disorder (or medication and/or laboratory test abnormalities) which, in the opinion of the Investigator and with concurrence of the Medical Monitor, may either put the subject at risk because of participation in the study, may influence the results of the study, or the subject's ability to participate in the study. This includes but is not limited to a subject who has uncontrolled cystoid macular edema (CME) in the treatment eye. CME is permissible if stable for 3 months (with or without treatment). Past CME is permissible if resolved for more than 1 month. 2. Receipt within 3 months prior to Screening of any intraocular or periocular surgery (including refractive surgery), or an IVT injection or planned intraocular surgery or procedure during the course of the study. 3. Safety issue during preceding QR-421a study that may compromise subject safety when continued dosing, as determined by the Investigator, and in consultation with the Medical Monitor.
