Brief Summary:
The primary objective of this trial is to assesses the efficacy of tinlarebant in slowing the rate of growth of atrophic lesion(s) in adolescent subjects with STGD1

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Stargardt Disease 1 Drug: Tinlarebant Drug: Placebo Phase 3

Detailed Description:
Approximately 90 subjects will be enrolled in this study. Subjects will be assigned to study drug (tinlarebant 5 mg/placebo) with treatment period of upto 24 months with 28 days of follow-up.

Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Actual Enrollment : 104 participants
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Intervention Model Description: This is a Phase 3 randomized, double-masked, parallel group, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Tinlarebant 5 mg in the treatment of adolescent subjects with STGD1.
Masking: Double (Participant, Investigator)
Masking Description: Eligible subjects will be randomly assigned to begin treatment in 2:1 ratio to receive the study drug (either Tinlarebant 5 mg or matching placebo)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Masked, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Tinlarebant in the Treatment of Stargardt Disease in Adolescent Subjects
Actual Study Start Date : March 28, 2022

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Tinlarebant
5 mg tablet taken orally once a day
Drug: Tinlarebant
Tinlarebant drug substance is a white to off-white substance and is dispensed as a tablet for oral administration.

Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Placebo tablets for tinlarebant 5 mg are prepared similarly but use microcrystalline cellulose, NF, in place of the active drug substance and will be identical in size and appearance.
Drug: Placebo
Not active drug




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. To measure change in atrophic lesion size (definitely decreased autofluorescence, DDAF) by fundus autofluorescence (FAF) photography from baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline thru month 24 ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. To measure the change in retinal thickness assessed by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) from baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline thru month 24 ]
  2. To measure the change in retinal morphology assessed by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) from baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline thru month 24 ]
  3. To measure change in BCVA (Best Corrected Visual Acuity) score measured by the EDTRS method from baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline thru month 24 ]
  4. To measure change in plasma concentration of RBP4 levels (μM) from baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline thru month 24 ]
  5. The correlation between change in plasma RBP4 level and the rate of lesion size growth (definitely decreased autofluorescence, DDAF) by fundus autofluorescence (FAF) photography from baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline thru month 24 ]
  6. To assess the systemic and ocular safety and tolerability of tinlarebant [ Time Frame: Baseline thru month 24 ]
    Frequency, duration, and severity of AEs


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. To measure change in total decreased autofluorescence (DAF) by FAF photography from baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline thru month 24 ]
  2. To measure change in questionably decreased autofluorescence (QDAF) by FAF photography from baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline thru month 24 ]
  3. To measure change in quantitative autofluorescence (qAF) level from baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline thru month 24 ]
  4. To measure change in retinal sensitivity by microperimetry from baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline thru month 24 ]

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male or female subjects 12 to 20 years old, inclusive.
  • Subject must have clinically diagnosed STGD1 (Stargardt disease 1) with at least 1 mutation identified in the ABCA4 gene.
  • Subject must have a defined aggregate atrophic lesion size within 3 disc areas (7.62 mm2), as imaged by FAF in the study eye Subjects must have a BCVA of 20/200 or better for the study eye based on ETDRS letter score
  • Subject and their parent(s) or legal guardian are willing to provide their consent on an Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Independent Ethics Committee (IEC)/Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC)-approved informed consent form (ICF) prior to participating in any study-related procedures.
  • Subject agrees to comply with all protocol requirements.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any ocular disease other than Stargardt (STGD1) at baseline that, in the opinion of the investigator, would complicate assessment of a treatment effect.
  • History of ocular surgery in the study eye in the last 3 months.
  • Investigational drug use of any kind in the last 3 months or within 5 half-lives of the investigational drug, whichever is shorter.
  • Any prior gene therapy.
  • Vitamin A (retinol) deficiency as defined as a retinol serum level less than 20 mcg/dL (=0.7 μmol/L).
