Overview

RV-001 is an optogenetic gene therapy developed by Restore Vision Inc., a spin-out from Keio University, for the treatment of retinitis pigmentosa (RP). The therapy utilizes an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector to deliver a gene encoding 'Chimeric Rhodopsin' into retinal interneurons. This chimeric protein employs a light-driven G-protein activation mechanism to restore light sensitivity in the remaining retinal cells of patients with advanced RP. RV-001 is designed as a gene-agnostic treatment, meaning it is intended to be effective regardless of the specific genetic mutation causing the disease. It is administered via intravitreal injection and entered Phase I/II clinical trials in early 2025.
