Active clinical trials for "Retinitis"

The study will perform to follow-up UC-MSCs and CM transplantation. 18 patients will be called back to be examined after 5 years of UC-MSC and/or CM transplantation.

The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a single sub-retinal injection of BIIB112 in participants with X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP).

This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of the Intelligent Retinal Implants System (IRIS V2). Blind patient suffering from Retinitis Pigmentosa, Cone Rod Dystrophy, or Choroideremia are implanted with an Intelligent Retinal Implant Systeme. All subjects undergo ophthalmological examinations in predefined intervals after implantation. Ophthalmological examinations include funduscopy, slit lamp examination and OCT. All adverse events are recorded and analyzed. Efficacy is measured using functional vision and visual function tests before and after implantation as well as with the system on and system off.

The goal of the current project is to fill the unmet clinical needs around the objective assessment of visual function and develop outcome-oriented visual rehabilitation approach using the computer assisted rehabilitation environment (CAREN) system for Argus recipients.

This study is a proof of principal, to evaluate a safety and efficacy of a prototype suprachoroidal retinal implant.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of QR-421a administered via intravitreal injection (IVT) in subjects with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) due to mutations in exon 13 of the USH2A gene.

The study will provides the enrollment of patients with genetic retinal dystrophies with primary rod impairment and dry age-related macular degeneration (Geographic type) A subretinal injection of umbilical cord blood platelet-rich plasma (CB-PRP) will be performed only in one eye, the other eye will be considered as a control group. A complete morpho-functional ophthalmological evaluation will be performed in all patients at each control.

This study will be an initial proof of concept study, to evaluate safety and efficacy of a prototype suprachoroidal retinal implant

This study was to assess the safety of gene transfer via subretinal administration of rAAV2-VMD2-hMERTK in subjects with MERTK-associated retinitis pigmentosa (RP).

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a progressive degenerative disease of the retina, which often leads to blindness. 1 in 4000 people in the UK are affected by RP yet there is no established therapy for treating or delaying its progression. Transcorneal electrical stimulation (TES) has garnered attention as a possible therapeutic option for RP. Research has shown that TES improves retinal cell viability and visual function. An initial pilot study of TES on 24 participants with RP demonstrated that it was safe and improved vision. This study aims to confirm the safety of the new CE-approved Okustim device and to further characterise the benefits of TES on a larger scale. 12 participants will be enrolled for 1 year across two sites in the UK - the Oxford Eye Hospital and London Moorfields Eye Hospital. Recruited participants will undergo weekly TES of 1 eye for 30 minutes for a period of 6 months. This will be followed by a further 6 months of observation without stimulation giving a total participation time of 1 year. Participants will be assessed at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after their initial baseline visit by clinical examination, investigations and questionnaires. Participants should have a diagnosis of RP and be capable of giving consent. Participants, or a carer, should have sufficient motor skills to attach the device themselves. As this study seeks to ascertain the impact of TES on RP, participants with other eye diseases (e.g. diabetic retinopathy) cannot be included in the study.
