Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 3

  1. 1. Patient must be ≥18 to <55 years to participate in Part A and ≥6 to <18 years to participate in Part B
  2. 2. Patient must have a clinical diagnosis of ADOA and have a heterozygous OPA1 gene variant confirmed at Screening by central lab genotyping
  3. 3. Patient must have a BCVA EDTRS letter score of ≥35 and ≤70 with each eye individually, with the exception of the first two patients in Cohort 1 of Part A who must have a BCVA ETDRS letter score ≥5 and ≤35 in each eye

Exclusion criteria 5

  1. Patient has a gain-of-function variant, or compound heterozygous or homozygous pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant in the OPA1 gene
  2. Patient has extraocular phenotypic manifestations of (syndromic) ADOA (ADOA-plus) or have Behr syndrome
  3. Patient has, or has a history of, any ocular condition in either eye that, in the opinion of the Investigator, could affect study parameters
  4. Patient is considered to be at risk for uveitis or ocular infection during the study period
  5. Patient is taking, or has taken at any time, any medication or treatment that can or might cause an optic neuropathy

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 2

  1. Safety variables for analysis
  2. The exposure of STK-002 in serum will be determined using Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters

Secondary endpoints 7

  1. Peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and macular ganglion cell layer (GCL, or ganglion cell complex) thicknesses as assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT)
  2. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) using Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) optotypes
  3. Contrast sensitivity as assessed by low contrast BCVA (at 25%, 5% and 2.5% contrast levels)
  4. Visual field (as assessed by automated, static perimetry [10-2 and 24-2 Swedish Interactive Threshold Algorithm (SITA) FAST])
  5. Electrical activity of the retina as assessed by phototopic negative response (PhNR) ERG (if available)
  6. Continuous text reading acuity as assessed by MNREAD Acuity Charts
  7. Quality of life as measured by scores on the National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire-25 (NEI-VFQ-25), Impact of Vision Impairment for Children (IVI-C), and the European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D)/EQ-5D-Y questionnaire
