About This Macular Telangiectasia Type 2 Study in La Jolla

The purpose of this global, multicenter, open-label, Phase 4 clinical extension study is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of revakinagene taroretcel-lwey (Encelto™; hereinafter referred to as NT-501), in participants with macular telangiectasia type 2 (MacTel) who previously received the intraocular implant in a Phase 1, Phase 2, or Phase 3 clinical study. In addition, this study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of NT501 in participants who previously underwent the sham procedu

Who Can Participate

Inclusion Criteria

To be eligible to participate in this study, an individual participant must meet all the following criteria:

Male or female adult participants who previously completed an NT-501 MacTel clinical study and:

Arm 1: received NT-501 intraocular implant in either Phase 3 study (NTMT-03-A or NTMT-03-B) and have retained at least 1 NT-501 at study entry.

Arm 2: received NT-501 intraocular implant in the Phase 1 study (NTMT-01), Phase 2 study (NTMT-02), or in the substudy of the Phase 1 and Phase 2 extension study (NTMT-01/02E) and have retained at least 1 NT-501 at study entry. Note: participants who received NT-501 in both eyes (ie, participated in study NTMT-02B) will be enrolled in either Arm 1 or Arm 2 based on the study in which the first NT 501 was implanted (ie, participants who received the first implant in a Phase 3 study will be enrolled in Arm 1 and those who received the first implant in the Phase 1 study or Phase 2 study will be enrolled in Arm 2).

Arm 3: underwent the sham procedure in either Phase 3 study (NTMT-03-A or NTMT-03-B)

Participant or their legally authorized representative must be able to provide written informed consent to participate in the study, in accordance with the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines, and local regulations, before initiating any clinical study related procedures.

Arm 3: female participants of childbearing potential must agree to use highly effective contraception. Highly effective forms of contraception (generally a first-year typical use pregnancy risk of 1% or less) include the following: contraceptive implants; an intrauterine device; permanent contraceptive procedures (vasectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral tubal occlusion, or partial salpingectomy); abstinence. A combination of male condom with either cap, diaphragm, or sponge with spermicide (ie, double barrier methods) is also considered an acceptable, but not highly effective, method of birth control.
