Update on upcoming RPE65 trials

Hello! We have good news. The RPE65 human clinical trials, of which we’ve been talking about for a long time, are scheduled to begin any day. Seems like they’ve been postponed a bit, but now we’re apparently there. The Foundation Fighting Blindness has just published the audio presentations given at the Day of Science Conference this year, which includes one by Dr. Jean Bennett, who is directly involved in the planning of one of these trials. 3 trials are going to begin shortly: 2 in the US – one for adults and one for children – and one in the UK. Other speeches include the discovery of CEP290, the genetics of retinal diseases, the potential of stem cell transplantation, and much more. You can listen to the presentations, or read summaries at
