Active clinical trials for "Retinitis Pigmentosa"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral valproic acid to slow the progression of visual function and/or to improve the visual function in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Enrolled subjects in valproic acid group will be treated with oral valproic acid 500mg daily for 48 weeks. Visual function and safety will be assess before and after treatment (48 weeks) between valproic acid and control groups.

The purpose of this study is: to evaluate the safety of oral QLT091001 to evaluate whether 7-day treatment with oral QLT091001 can improve visual function in subjects with LCA or RP due to RPE65 or LRAT mutations to evaluate duration of visual function improvement (if observed)

Purpose: To investigate the effects of subliminal micropulse yellow laser application on central macular thickness and best corrected visual acuity in cystoid macular edema secondary to retinitis pigmentosa patients.

The Phase 1 part of the study is a dose escalation of subretinal administration of AAV2/5 vector to assess the safety of this vector in participants with XLRP caused by mutations in RPGR. The Phase 2 part of the study is a cohort expansion of subretinal administration of AAV2/5 vector to assess the safety and efficacy of this vector in participants with XLRP caused by mutations in RPGR.

The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety of repeat injection of human retinal progenitor cells (jCell) in adult subjects with RP that have previously been treated with jCell.

This study aims at investigating the therapeutic potential of recombinant human Nerve Growth Factor ( rhNGF ) eye drops treatment in patients with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) associated with cystoid macular edema (CME) in a phase II, randomized, double-masked, controlled clinical trial.

Investigational Phase of the Study: The objective of this feasibility study is to evaluate the safety and utility of the Argus II Retinal Stimulation System in providing visual function to blind subjects with retinitis pigmentosa. Post-Approval Phase of the Study: To collect post-approval data in order to monitor the ongoing safety and reliability of the Argus II System

This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of the Intelligent Retinal Implants System (IRIS V1)

The purpose of this study is to determine the long-term effects of transcorneal electrostimulation (TcES) in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). In a prior study (NCT00804102) the results of short-term stimulation showed a positive effect on the visual field and other parameters. In this study, the patients will be stimulated with either 0%, 150% or 200% of the individually determined phosphene threshold.

The purpose of this study is to expand the safety assessment of repeated applications of an electrical current from a DTL-like electrode in patients with RP.
