Active clinical trials for "Retinitis Pigmentosa"

Measures of vision in RP patients receiving promising therapy using transcorneal electrical stimulation.

The objective of the study is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of a sub-retinal injection of BIIB111 in participants with Choroideremia (CHM) who have been previously treated with BIIB111 and who have exited an antecedent study; these treated participants will be compared with untreated control participants who have exited the STAR (NCT03496012) study and BIIB112 in participants with X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP) who have been previously treated with BIIB112 and who have exited an antecedent study.

The study will evaluate new methods of retinal stimulation and training with the goal of improving the visual ability of retinal prosthesis participants.

This study will evaluate and compare the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of 2 doses of a recombinant adeno-associated virus vector (AGTC-501) to an untreated control group in male patients with X-linked retinitis pigmentosa caused by RPGR mutations.

This study will assess the progression of RP as seen on newer modalities including spectral-domain optical coherence (SD-OCT) and macular assessment integrity (MAIA) microperimetry to evaluate disease status. Understanding the natural history of the disease is not only essential to monitoring and comparing patient populations in clinical trials. It is also fundamental in the predevelopment phase in order to optimize the study duration needed to observe a statistically significant outcome. Furthermore, since the progression of RP is usually slow, relying on traditional tests can take an unfeasible length of time to observe any meaningful changes and assess therapeutic efficacy for new drugs. Therefore, the results of this study will be beneficial in establishing reliable endpoints and outcome measures for future clinical trials. Such outcome measures may be able to detect treatment response with more precision. More importantly, investigators may be able to detect changes early enough to prevent irreversible vision loss.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the structure and function of the human retina can be studied with high resolution in patients with inherited retinal degenerations using the Adaptive Optics Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope (AOSLO).

This is natural history study of rods and cones degenerations in patients with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) caused by pathogenic mutations in RHO, PDE6a or PDE6b gene mutations.

The purpose of this study is to establish the natural history of of participants with BESTROPHIN 1 Vitelliform Macular Dystrophy. The blinding disorder Best Vitelliform Macular Dystrophy (VMD) is caused by any one of more than 250 different mutations in the BEST1 gene. As new treatments are developed, a clear understanding of the natural history of disease progression of BEST1 VMD is necessary. The goals of this natural history study are to: Report the natural history of retinal degeneration in participants with a clinical diagnosis of VMD with molecular confirmation of a pathogenic BEST1 mutation(s). Identify sensitive structural and functional outcome measures to use for future multicenter clinical trials for the treatment of BESTROPHIN 1 VMD. Compare progression of the identified structural and functional measures between the two eyes to judge the suitability of the second untreated eye as a control for a future clinical trial involving unilateral treatment Identify well-defined patient populations for future clinical trials of investigative treatments for BEST1 VMD.

The purpose of this study is to characterize the natural history through temporal systemic evaluation of subjects identified with PRPF31 mutation-associated retinal dystrophy, also called retinitis pigmentosa type 11, or RP11. Assessments will be completed to measure and evaluate structural and functional visual changes including those impacting patient quality of life associated with this inherited retinal condition and observing how these changes evolve over time.

Glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), retinitis pigmentosa, RP, diabetic retinopathy (DR) are the most common blinding eye diseases in the world. Vision and visual field are often severely impaired, quality of life is reduced, and personal and family burdens are heavy. This kind of low vision people, can use visual AIDS and other instruments for visual rehabilitation training, maximize the function of residual vision, improve the quality of life. Beyes, HOLA, Acesight and OXSIGHT are among the latest eyeglasses devices that are expected to improve the quality of life for people with low vision. This research group intends to recruit advanced patients with primary glaucoma, AMD, RP, DR and other common blinding eye diseases who visited Zhongshan Ophthalmology Center of Sun Yat-sen University from June 2021 to December 2022 to study the changes of visual function and quality of life after wearing this new type of head-worn visual aids, and analyze relevant factors combined with clinical data. To evaluate the effect and influencing factors of the new head-mounted visual AIDS on patients, and provide theoretical basis for subsequent clinical research.
