Opus Genetics revises OPGx-BEST1 Cohort 1 data, corrects visual acuity error
Opus Genetics filed a revised data presentation on September 11, 2026, correcting an error in the Cohort 1 results of its OPGx-BEST1 gene therapy trial that it presented at its September 9, 2026 investor conference. The error was in converting logMAR visual acuity to ETDRS letters on Slide 15, and the company calls it immaterial. The filing also lists each participant's three-month letter change, and two participants show losses in the treated eye, so shareholders may want to review the corrected figures.
Key points
- Slide 15, which charts mean best-corrected visual acuity from baseline through 3 months in Cohort 1, was corrected for a logMAR-to-ETDRS translation error.
- Corrected three-month changes in the treated eye: 101-101 up 12 letters, 101-104 up 1, 102-101 down 10, 102-102 up 2, 101-106 up 6.
- Corrected three-month changes in the fellow eye: 101-101 up 4 letters, 101-104 down 7, 102-101 down 8, 102-102 down 5, 101-106 up 2.
- Microperimetry grid images for baseline and 3 months were added to the appendix; the original presentation was furnished on September 9, 2026.
