GVB-2001 Gene Therapy Via Intracameral Injection for the Treatment of Primary Open Angle Glaucoma
Proof of Concept Clinical Trial of Gene Therapy GVB-2001 Delivered Via Intracameral Injection for the Treatment of Primary Open Angle Glaucoma
GVB-2001 Gene Therapy Via Intracameral Injection for the Treatment of Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (NCT06921317) is a Phase 1 / Phase 2 interventional studying Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG), sponsored by IVIEW Therapeutics Inc.. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.
About This Trial
This is an investigator initiated, single center, open label, non-randomized, exploratory clinical study. The purpose is to assess the safety and preliminary efficacy of gene therapy GVB-2001 (ScAAV2-dnRhoA) delivered via intracameral injection to the anterior segment of the eye for the treatment of subjects with primary open-angle glaucoma. At least 6 primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) patients with high intraocular pressure (IOP) will be divided into two experimental groups. The first subject was given low-dose treatment, and the follow-up subjects were determined by the Safety Review Committee (SRC). Each experimental group was given low-dose and high-dose drug treatment respectively, and low-dose or high-dose treatment was given. The optimal dose will be selected based on the trial results for future development of GVB-2001. Safety Review Committee, SRC will be set up for safety assessment of the study. The study subjects included will be 18 to 75 years of age (inclusion) and are diagnosed with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) for 1 year or more. Only participants who provide informed consent prior to all screening procedures will be eligible for enrollment into the trial.
What Stage of Research Is This?
Phase 1 trials test a new treatment for the first time in humans, focusing on safety, dosing, and how the body processes the drug. For Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG), a Phase 1 study typically enrolls a small number of participants — often healthy volunteers or patients who have exhausted standard treatment options. Phase 1 results determine whether a treatment moves into larger Phase 2 efficacy studies.
This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.
With a target enrollment of 6 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.

Treatments Being Tested
GVB-2001-high dose
GVB-2001 is a self-complementary adeno-associated viral vector (scAAV) injection to deliver human dnRhoA gene to trabecular meshwork cells in patients with primary open angle glaucoma. A single dose of high dose GVB-2001 will be injected intracamerally to the target interventional eye.
GVB-2001-low dose
GVB-2001 is a self-complementary adeno-associated viral vector (scAAV) injection to deliver human dnRhoA gene to trabecular meshwork cells in patients with primary open angle glaucoma. A single dose of low dose GVB-2001 will be injected intracamerally to the target interventional eye.

Who can participate in NCT06921317?
Eligibility for this trial depends on the specific inclusion and exclusion criteria set by the sponsor. The plain-English summary above translates the most important criteria into accessible language; the official clinical text is preserved in the collapsible section underneath. Whether you fit any specific trial is a medical decision your doctor needs to confirm — bring the trial information to your treating physician for a full review against your medical history.
How do I contact the trial site for NCT06921317?
Contact information registered with ClinicalTrials.gov is shown in the sidebar of this page. Before reaching out, confirm with your treating physician that this trial is appropriate for your situation. The trial site will then walk you through the screening process to determine final eligibility.
Is participating in a clinical trial safe?
Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
