Clinical research
Being tested in people in registered clinical trials. Being in trials is not evidence that a treatment works or is safe.
Apa yang diuji dalam uji klinis ini
The first time CRISPR was injected directly into a human organ — under the retina, to remove a faulty piece of a gene causing severe inherited blindness. Some participants saw meaningfully better. The programme was later discontinued because too few people in the world have that exact mutation.
An open-label, single ascending dose Phase 1/2 study of EDIT-101, delivered by subretinal AAV5 injection, in participants with CEP290-associated Leber congenital amaurosis type 10. Published results reported clinically meaningful improvement in visual function in a subset of participants with an acceptable safety profile. Editas subsequently discontinued development for population-size reasons.

Apa yang dimaksud dan tidak dimaksud oleh hasil uji klinis
Hasil fase awal berasal dari jumlah peserta yang kecil dan waktu tindak lanjut yang singkat. Hasilnya dapat berubah seiring bertambahnya peserta dan waktu, dan uji klinis yang sedang merekrut, aktif, atau bahkan sudah selesai belum membuktikan bahwa suatu pengobatan berhasil. Kriteria pendaftaran sangat ketat; kelayakan ditentukan oleh pihak uji klinis, bukan oleh sebuah situs web.
