Study Summary

This study is designed to evaluate the effect of ataluren on Maximum Reading Speed as measured using the Minnesota Low Vision Reading Test (MNREAD) Acuity Charts in participants with nonsense mutation aniridia. This study involves a 4-week screening period, a 144-week treatment period (Stage 1: Weeks 1 to 48 \[double-masked treatment\] and Stage 2: Weeks 49 to 144 \[open label treatment\]), an optional 96-week open label extension sub-study, and a 4-week post-treatment follow-up period (either study completion or early termination). Participants that choose not to participate in the sub-study will be required to complete the post-treatment follow-up visit at the end of the Stage 2 open-label extension.

Primary Outcome

MNREAD Acuity Chart can only be used to assess participants ≥8 years old. MNREAD Acuity Chart measures reading speed as a function of print size in participants with normal and low vision. The test consists of short sentences with print size decreasing by 0.1 log unit steps from a maximum of 1.3 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) (equivalent to 20/400 or 6/120 when viewed at 40 centimeters \[cm\]) to -0.5 logMAR (equivalent to 20/6 or 6/2).
