AGTC

The answer to genetic blindness begins with a CLEAR VISION - AGTC’s Clarity Clinical Trials are research studies that are exploring potentially life-changing treatments for rare genetic eye disorders, including achromatopsia
​
We are focused on genetic therapies that can restore visual function in patients with rare inherited conditions. In many instances, if left untreated these conditions can have a dramatic impact on patients’ daily activities and overall quality of life. Simple activities such as riding a bike, playing outside, and even the ability to recognize a loved one in a crowd, can be impossible for patients with rare blinding conditions. Our treatment candidates have the potential to dramatically improve visual function in patients with conditions where only palliative or no therapies exist today.
