The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of GS010, a gene therapy, in improving the retina functional \& structural outcomes in subjects with LHON due to the G11778A ND4 mitochondrial mutation when vision loss duration is present up to one year.
GS-LHON-CLIN-05 is a Phase III, global, multi-center randomized, double-masked for the primary analysis, placebo-controlled, clinical study. As LHON is a neurodegenerative disease, the goal is to administer GS010 as soon as possible upon confirmation of the LHON diagnosis and the causative mutation.

GS010 is a recombinant adeno-associated viral vector serotype 2 (rAAV2/2) containing the wild-type ND4 gene (rAAV2/2-ND4). GS010 will be administrated via intravitreal injection containing 9E10 viral genomes in 90μL balanced salt solution (BSS) as a single baseline intravitreal injection.
The placebo is a BSS, sterile, apyrogenic solution and used for ocular surgery. The placebo will be administered via intravitreal injection in a volume of 90 μL.

Best-Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) reported using Log of the Minimal Angle of Resolution (LogMAR) - 1 year
The primary efficacy endpoint will be the change from baseline (Visit 2) BCVA reported with LogMAR at 1.5 years post-treatment in second affected/not yet affected eyes of ND4 LHON subjects with vision loss up to one year. The change from baseline (Visit 2) in second affected/not yet affected eyes receiving GS010 and placebo will be the primary response of interest. LogMAR BCVA will be used to represent BCVA.
Time frame: at 1.5 Year post baseline treatment
Best-Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) reported with LogMAR - 2 years
Change from baseline in LogMAR BCVA at each timepoint of the follow-up period and at 2 years post-treatment.
Time frame: at 1.5-Year and 2-Years post baseline treatment
Responder Analysis
Response status at each timepoint of the follow-up period and at 2 years post-treatment. Definitions of responder eyes include: 1. Eyes whose LogMAR BCVA improves (i.e. decreases) by ≥ 0.3 LogMAR (equivalent to a gain of ≥ 15 ETDRS letters) compared to baseline. 2. Eyes whose LogMAR BCVA does not increase (i.e. worsen) by ≥ 0.3 LogMAR (equivalent to eyes that lose ≤ 15 ETDRS letters) compared to baseline. 3. Eyes whose LogMAR visual acuity is \< 1.0 (i.e. better than LogMAR 1.0, equivalent to better than Snellen acuity of 20/200).
Time frame: at 1.5-Year and 2-Years post baseline treatment
Spectral-Domain - Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) parameter
Parameters measured with SD-OCT over time and at 1.5 and 2-years post baseline treatment. The change from baseline will be the response. Analysis will be performed mainly for second affected/not yet affected eyes treated with GS010 versus placebo and also for first affected eyes receiving GS010 as well
Time frame: at 1.5-Year and 2-Years post baseline treatment

Humphrey Visual Field (HVF) parameter
Parameters measured with HVF 30-2 over time and at 1.5 and 2-years post baseline treatment. The change from baseline will be the response. Analysis will be performed mainly for second affected/not yet affected eyes treated with GS010 versus placebo and also for first affected eyes receiving GS010 as well
Time frame: at 1.5-Year and 2-Years post baseline treatment
Pelli Robson Low Vision Contrast Sensitivity parameter
Parameters measured with Pelli Robson Low Vision Contrast Sensitivity over time and at 1.5 and 2-years post baseline treatment. The change from baseline will be the response. Analysis will be performed mainly for second affected/not yet affected eyes treated with GS010 versus placebo and also for first affected eyes receiving GS010 as well
