development of innovative therapies for the treatment of blinding
inherited retinal diseases SparingVision is developing SPVN06, a drug
candidate to treat retinitis pigmentosa, the most common inherited
retinal degeneration. There is currently no treatment to treat all forms
of this rare genetic disease of the retina that leads to blindness and
affects approximately 40,000 people in France and nearly 2 million
worldwide. SparingVision is a spin-off of the Paris Vision Institute.
Bpifrance, the Foundation Fighting Blindness (US) and the Voir &
Entendre Foundation invested 15.5 million euros in the company.
