Why This Webinar

In December 2024, Sepul Bio announced the launch of the LUNA Study, a phase 2b clinical trial designed to evaluate Ultevursen, an innovative RNA therapy, in individuals with retinitis pigmentosa caused by USH2A gene mutations.

The goal is to provide real hope for thousands of patients. The LUNA Study will assess Ultevursen’s effectiveness in slowing, or even stabilizing, vision loss.

By bringing together researchers, specialists, and the community, this webinar will help participants better understand:

  • The scientific and medical challenges of the trial

  • What these advances mean for patients, families, and caregivers

  • The upcoming challenges and the tangible hopes linked to this therapy
