Filter by:Aberrant retinoic acid signaling driven by the degenerating outer retina leads to pathological changes to the inner retina. The resulting hyperactivity of retinal ganglion cells leads to further diminution of the remaining vision in those afflicted with inherited retinal diseases. Inhibition of this pathway has led to improved visual function in murine models of retinal degeneration. This can be accomplished in humans with the FDA-approved irreversible inhibitor of aldehyde dehydrogenases, disulfiram.
This is an international, multicenter study with two components: Registry - A standardized genetic screening and a prospective, standardized, cross-sectional clinical data collection - Enrollment is open to all genes on the RD Rare Gene List Natural History Study - A prospective, standardized, longitudinal Natural History Study - Enrollment opens gene-by-gene, based on funding and within-gene Registry enrollment The study objectives are as follows. Registry Objectives 1. Genotype Characterization 2. Cross-Sectional Phenotype Characterization (within gene) 3. Establish a Link to My Retina Tracker Registry (MRTR) 4. Ancillary Exploratory Studies - Pooling of Genes Natural History Study Objectives 1. Natural History (within gene) 2. Structure-Function Relationship (within gene) 3. Risk Factors for Progression (within gene) 4. Ancillary Exploratory Studies - Pooling of Genes
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.
This study aims to prepare for the first-in-human clinical trial of cone optogenetics vision restoration. As a first step, this worldwide multicenter ocular imaging study (EyeConic Study) is performed to identify eligible patients.

Comparison of high-resolution optical coherence tomography (High-Res-OCT) to conventional imaging modalities for the diagnosis of eye diseases
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a single intravitreal injection of virally-carried Multi-Characteristic Opsin (MCO-010).
PQ-110-005 (BRIGHTEN) is an open-label, dose escalation and double-masked, randomized, controlled study evaluating safety and tolerability of sepofarsen administered via intravitreal (IVT) injection in pediatric subjects (<8 years of age) with LCA10 due to the c.2991+1655A>G mutation over 24 months of treatment.
Dystrophy-Related macular neovascularization degeneration occur is a vision threatening condition.The investigators evaluate the efficacy of BEOVU intravitreal treatment.
High throughput sequencing gives the opportunity to improve the genetic diagnosis for patients suffering from retinal dystrophies and specially from cone disorders. However, a large number of mutations are identified, mostly in introns of the genes, and in silico analysis are not sufficient to assign the pathogenicity of these mutations, without which the diagnosis confirmation cannot be done. For that purpose, a functional analysis of intronic variants of unknown significance detected in patients, with minigene splice assays in parallel with the analysis of the effect of the variant on splicing directly in the cells of the patient, by analyzing the RNA from leucocytes, fibroblasts, lymphoblastoïd cells or precursor of photoreceptor cells, which is the only proof of pathogenicity for variants
