NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT
Luxturna 5 × 10
12
vector genomes/mL concentrate and solvent for solution for injection
2.
QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION
2.1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Voretigene neparvovec is a gene transfer vector that employs an
adeno-associated viral vector
serotype 2 (AAV2) capsid as a delivery vehicle for the human retinal
pigment epithelium 65 kDa
protein (hRPE65) cDNA to the retina. Voretigene neparvovec is derived
from wild-type AAV2 using
recombinant DNA techniques.
2.2
QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION
Each mL of concentrate contains 5 × 10
12
vector genomes (vg).
Each vial of Luxturna contains 0.5 extractable mL of concentrate
(corresponding to 2.5 × 10
12
vector
genomes) which requires a 1:10 dilution prior to administration, see
section 6.6.
After dilution of 0.3 mL of concentrate with 2.7 mL of solvent, each
mL contains 5 × 10
11
vector
genomes. Each dose of 0.3 mL Luxturna contains 1.5 x 10
11
vector genomes.
For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1.
3.
PHARMACEUTICAL FORM
Concentrate and solvent for solution for injection.
Following thaw from their frozen state, both the concentrate and the
solvent are clear, colourless
liquids with a pH of 7.3.
