Luxturna: animal efficacy model or human cells?
voretigene neparvovec · RPE65
Efficacy evidence
RPE65-mutant dogs: improved pupillary responses, ERGs and visual behavior, reduced nystagmus
“Subretinal delivery (bilateral, simultaneous administration) of AAV2-hRPE65v2 vector (8.25 x 1010 vg/dog eye) into RPE65 mutant dogs resulted in improved pupillary responses, ERGs, and visual behavior, and reduced nystagmus.”
Why that model
Naturally occurring RPE65-null Briard dog is an established large-animal disease model
“Briard dogs have a naturally occurring mutation (four base-pair deletion) in canine RPE65 that results in absence of RPE65 protein expression and these dogs have been subject to study over decades”
Reviewer's view of the efficacy data
EMA: sufficient proof of concept; no further animal studies required
“The applicant presented sufficient proof of concept to support use of voretigene neparvovec in patients and no further studies in animals are required.”
