The purpose of this double-masked, randomized, placebo-controlled, paired-eye study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Sepofarsen in subjects with Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA) due to the c.2991+1655A\>G (p.Cys998X) mutation in the CEP290.
This is a double-masked, randomized, placebo-controlled, paired-eye study in which one eye of each subject will serve as a control. At the start of the study the two eyes of each subject will be randomized such that one eye receives sepofarsen and the other eye receives placebo for the first year. In the second year, for all subjects, the eye that was randomized to receive sepofarsen will continue to receive sepofarsen. For the eye that was randomized to placebo in the first year, treatment in the second year will be allocated, as follows: 50% of the eyes will continue to receive placebo, and 50% of the eyes will receive sepofarsen. Sepofarsen and placebo will be administered via intravitreal injection every 6 months.

Change from baseline in Best-Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA)
Change from baseline in BCVA based on the Freiburg Acuity and Contrast Test (FrACT) between Treatment Eyes (TEs) and Placebo Control Eyes (PCEs)
Time frame: 12 Months
Change from baseline in Low Luminance Visual Acuity (LLVA) based on FrACT between Treatment Eyes (TEs) and Placebo Control Eyes (PCEs)
Time frame: Month 12
Change from baseline in retinal sensitivity as measured by dark-adapted Full-Field Stimulus Test (FST) between Treatment Eyes (TEs) and Placebo Control Eyes (PCEs)
Time frame: Month 12
Eye-specific Patient Global Impression of Change (PGI-C) between Treatment Eyes (TEs) and Placebo Control Eyes (PCEs)
PGI-C (PATIENT GLOBAL IMPRESSION OF CHANGE ) assesses a patient's perception of overall change in their vision in the respective eye over time. The minimum score (best outcome) is 1 ("Very Much Better") and the maximum score (worst outcome) is 7 ("Very Much Worse"). Higher scores indicate a worse health outcome (greater worsening).
Time frame: Month 12
Change from baseline in Contrast Sensitivity (CS) between Treatment Eyes (TEs) and Placebo Control Eyes (PCEs) based on qCSF
Time frame: Month 12
Change from baseline in retinal sensitivity as measured by light-adapted Full-Field Stimulus Test (FST) between Treatment Eyes (TEs) and Placebo Control Eyes (PCEs)
Time frame: Month 12
Response in BCVA (FrACT), defined as an improvement of at least 0.2 logMAR from baseline at 12 months and compared between Treatment Eyes (TEs) and Placebo Control Eyes (PCEs), evaluated by the percentage of eyes that achieve this improvement.
Time frame: Month 12
Response in BCVA (FrACT), defined as an improvement of at least 0.3 logMAR from baseline at 12 months and compared between Treatment Eyes (TEs) and Placebo Control Eyes (PCEs), evaluated by the percentage of eyes that achieve this improvement.
Time frame: Month 12
Response in Low Luminance Visual Acuity (LLVA) defined as clinically relevant improvement between Treatment Eyes (TEs) and Placebo Control Eyes (PCEs) at 12 months, evaluated by the percentage of eyes that achieve this improvement.

Time frame: Month 12
Change from baseline in eye-specific Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGI-S) between Treatment Eyes (TEs) and Placebo Control Eyes (PCEs)
PGI-S (PATIENT GLOBAL IMPRESSION OF SEVERITY ) assesses a patient's perception of severity of their eye condition in the respective eye over the past week. The minimum score (best outcome) is 1 ("None") and the maximum score (worst outcome) is 5 ("Very Severe"). Higher scores indicate a worse health outcome (greater severity).
