What is Luxturna?

Luxturna is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication developed by Spark Therapeutics Inc. and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

It is an adeno-associated virus vector-based gene therapy indicated for the treatment of patients with confirmed biallelic RPE65 mutation-associated inherited retinal dystrophy that leads to vision loss and may cause complete blindness in certain patients.

Inherited retinal diseases are a group of eye disorders characterized by the degeneration of different parts of the retina. It is caused by more than 250 different genes, often affecting children and young adults. Mutations in both copies of the RPE65 gene affect approximately 1 in 200,000 people.

Early in the disease patients can suffer from night blindness, loss of light sensitivity, peripheral vision, sharpness or clarity of vision, impaired dark adaptation, and repetitive uncontrolled movements of the eye. Patients with mutations in both copies of the RPE65 gene may be diagnosed, for instance, with subtypes of either Leber congenital amaurosis or retinitis pigmentosa. A genetic test is needed to confirm that vision loss is caused by mutations in the RPE65 gene.

Luxturna can only be used while patients still have sufficient viable retinal cells functioning in the retina and when the disease is caused by mutations in the RPE65 gene. RPE65 is responsible for the production of an enzyme called all-trans retinyl isomerase, which is needed for the normal functioning of retinal cells. Patients must have viable retinal cells as determined by the treating physician

Luxturna consists of a virus that contains normal copies of the RPE65 gene. When Luxturna is injected into the eye the virus carries the RPE65 gene into the retinal cells enabling them to produce the missing enzyme. This helps the cells in the retina to function better, slowing down the progression of the disease. The adeno-associated virus used in Luxturna does not cause disease in humans.

The efficacy of Luxturna was established based on the multi-luminance mobility test (MLMT) score change from baseline to one year. MLMT was designed to measure changes in functional vision as assessed by the ability of a patient to navigate a course accurately and at a reasonable pace at seven different light levels, ranging from 400 lux (corresponding to a brightly lit office) to one lux (corresponding to a moonless summer night).

What doses of Luxturna are available?

Luxturna is available as a subretinal injection suspension, in the following doses: 0.5 mL extractable volume in a single-dose 2 mL vial for a single administration in one eye. The supplied concentration (5x1012vg/mL) requires a 1:10 dilution before administration.

The recommended dose for each eye is 1.5 x 1011 vector genomes, administered by subretinal injection in a total volume of 0.3 mL.

Perform subretinal administration of Luxturna to each eye on separate days, but no fewer than 6 days apart. Systemic oral corticosteroids starting 3 days before administration of Luxturna to each eye, and continuing for another 7 days after is advised.

Always speak with a healthcare professional about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
