Filter by:RayTx established The Vision Research and Assessment Institute (VRAI) with the express purpose of serving as a testing facility for efficacy endpoints for patients with Low Vision. The mission of the VRAI is to enable the highest quality, standardized efficacy testing of patients with visual impairment to be performed by expert clinicians in an optimized environment. The proposed assessments or testing modalities to be evaluated in this non-interventional study are published in some capacity, and some of these publications already include patients with severe-to-profound vision loss from retinitis pigmentosa and other inherited retinal diseases.
The aim of the study is to apply a novel clinical investigation protocol in patients with Phosphodiesterase 6A (PDE6A), PDE6B and Rhodopsin (RHO)-based retinitis pigmentosa. This novel, multimodal clinical examination protocol describes and correlates structural, functional and metabolic aspects during natural disease development. Test-retest variability of new measurements as well as correlations of the structural, functional, and metabolic changes will be defined to be able to define well-suited readouts for safety and efficacy of future treatment developments before they reach the clinical phase.
The objective of this study is to discover biomarkers that demonstrate a correlation between the severity of retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and the thickness of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). These biomarkers will serve as prognostic indicators for various kinds of retinitis pigmentosa. The objective of this study is to find biomarkers that establish a correlation between the severity of retinitis pigmentosa and the thickness of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), which can serve as a prognostic indicator for Retinitis Pigmentosa.
The goal of this phase 1 clinical trial is to learn about the safety and efficacy of a gene therapy, VG901, in patients with a rare disorder of the eye called Retinitis Pigmentosa. The main questions the study aims to answer are: - What is the best tolerated dose and are there any side effects, in particular any inflammatory reactions post drug administration? - Are there any early signs of efficacy on visual function? Participants will be administered a single intravitreal dose of VG901 into the most affected eye through a syringe and followed up for a year to monitor safety and efficacy. There will be two cohorts of participants in this study. Study Cohort 1 will receive the low dose and Study Cohort 2 will receive the high dose as specified in the Protocol.
Background: Pyrimidine and purine metabolism disorders (DPPMs) affect how the body metabolizes chemicals called pyrimidines and purines. DPPMs can cause dysfunctions throughout the body, especially in the brain, blood, kidneys, and immune system. People with DPPMs might have no symptoms, mild symptoms, or they may have severe, chronic symptoms, that can be fatal. DPPMs are not well understood, and researchers want to learn more about what causes them and how to treat them. Objective: To learn more about factors that affect DPPMs by comparing test results from affected, uaffected family members, and healthy people. Eligibility: Three types of participants are needed: people aged 1 month and older with DPPMs; their family members who do not have DPPMs; and healthy volunteers. Design: Participants with DPPMs will come to the clinic once a year; some may be asked to come more often. At each visit, all affected participants will have a physical exam and give samples of blood, urine, saliva, and stool. Depending on their symptoms, they may also have other procedures, such as: Swabs of their skin and inside the mouth. Tests of their heart, kidney, brain, and nerve function. Questionnaires about what they eat. Dental exams, and exams of their hearing and vision. Tests of their learning ability. Monitoring of their physical activity. Imaging scans. Photographs of their face and body. These tests may be spread over up to 7 days. Affected participants may remain in the study indefinitely if they wish to. Healthy volunteers and family members will have 1 study visit. They will have a physical exam and may be asked to give blood, urine, saliva, and stool samples.
The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of bilateral subretinal delivery of adeno-associated virus vector with a serotype 5 capsid human rhodopsin kinase promoter. retinitis pigmentosa guanosine triphosphatase regulator (AAV5-hRKp.RPGR).
The study will perform UC-MSCs and CM transplantation. There are two groups with different dosages. The first group will be transplanted with 1.5 million cells, meanwhile, the second group is 5 million cells. Each group consists of 30 subjects. All groups will be transplanted via the peribulbar route. All groups will be observed until six months.
A clinical trial of gene therapy for patients with X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP).
The objective of the study is to evaluate: 1. Safety of AuTNA I for subretinal implantation in patients with retinitis pigmentosa; 2. Efficacy of AuTNA I for subretinal implantation in patients with retinitis pigmentosa.
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: 1. Report the natural history of retinal degeneration in participants with a clinical diagnosis of VMD with molecular confirmation of a pathogenic BEST1 mutation(s). 2. Identify sensitive structural and functional outcome measures to use for future multicenter clinical trials for the treatment of BESTROPHIN 1 VMD. 3. 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 4. Identify well-defined patient populations for future clinical trials of investigative treatments for BEST1 VMD.
