Active clinical trials for "Retinal Dystrophies"

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

The goal of this study is to examine the ability of optical head-mounted display technology to enlarge the visual field of patients with severe visual field loss due to retinal dystrophy and to improve mobility and patient-reported outcomes.

The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the active substance rAAV-2/4.hRPE65 in patients with Leber Congenital Amaurosis or Congenital severe early-onset retinal degeneration associated with RPE65 mutation.

This protocol is a phase 1 clinical study to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of ALK-001 in healthy volunteers. Please contact trials@alkeus.com for any questions.

Dystrophy-Related macular neovascularization degeneration occur is a vision threatening condition.The investigators evaluate the efficacy of BEOVU intravitreal treatment.

This study will evaluate the use of autologous bone marrow derived stem cells (BMSC) for the treatment of retinal and optic nerve damage or disease. http://mdstemcells.com/scots-ii/

Retinal dystrophies are responsible for numerous cases of blindness, and there are no therapeutic possibilities today. Gene therapy is efficient in a dog model concerning dystrophy linked to a mutation of the rpe65 gene. If such a therapy is to be considered for humans, it is urgent to select, at a national level, patients suffering from dystrophy linked to a mutation of the rpe65 gene. The systematic correlation of phenotype/genotype is an anatomical-functional approach, but it also identifies patients who may be potentially included in a future gene therapy study. Indeed, identification of people with a mutation of rpe65 is still insufficient in France (compared to other European countries) because of a lack of systemic genotyping of retinal dystrophy.

This study is a longer-term follow-up study for patients who have been administered AAV2/5-OPTIRPE65 in the Phase I/II, open label, non-randomised, two-centre, dose escalation trial in adults and children with retinal dystrophy associated with defects in RPE65.

Vision testing is a fundamental part of every optometry and ophthalmology assessment. Traditional vision testing charts are not able to measure vision below a certain level. Vision in this range is classified as counting fingers (CF), hand movements (HM) and light perception (LP). These measures are not very accurate or easily quantifiable. They are also poorly understood in terms of impact on quality of life. This study aims to assess new methods for measuring the vision of patients with very low vision.

Fundus autofluorescence imaging has become an important diagnostic tool in ophthalmology, guiding diagnosis and assessment of progression of retinal diseases. This study investigates the performance of optimized long-wavelength autofluorescence imaging. To achieve this goal, the investigators will determine an optimal long wavelength excitation light and investigate the autofluorescence signal intensity in normals and patients with different retinal diseases. The diagnostic performance of the long-wavelength autofluorescence will be evaluated by assessing sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing a variety of degenerative retinal diseases and by comparing it to conventional autofluorescence.
