This article from Foundation Fighting Blindness, dated September 4, 2024, has some very interesting updates on retinal cell and gene therapy for a number of retinal vision issues. For the full summary of the Ninth Annual Retinal Cell & Gene Therapy Innovation Summit 2024, visit this link.

In particular, Session 3: Clinical Gene Therapy; PRODYGY: A First-in-Human Trial… Dr. Daniel Chung, Sparing Vision, is very interesting as it may address treatment or therapy for CORD-5. Very encouraging!!!
Without giving away all the details of my visit to Wills Eye Institute in Philadelphia, PA, in August 2024, I will say that some of what I learned in Philadelphia correlates with the information in this article.
More to come in a later post about the visit to Philadelphia.
Take care!
