Rate of Progression of PCDH15-Related Retinal Degeneration in Usher

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The overall goal of this project, co-funded by the Foundation Fighting Blindness and the USHER 1F Collaborative is to characterize the natural history of disease progression in patients with PCDH15 mutations in order to accelerate the development of outcome measures for clinical trials.

Clinical Trial Description

This natural history study of patients with PCDH15 disease-causing variants will accelerate the development of outcome measures for clinical trials. Sensitive, reliable outcome measures of retinal degeneration will greatly facilitate development of treatments for retinitis pigmentosa due to PCDH15 disease-causing variants. Together these approaches are expected to have an impact on understanding PCDH15 related retinal degeneration, developing experimental treatment protocols, and assessing their effectiveness. The goals and expected impact of this natural history study are to: 1. Describe the natural history of retinal degeneration in patients with biallelic disease-causing variants in the PCDH15 gene 2. Contribute to the identification of sensitive structural and functional outcome measures to use for future multicenter clinical trials in PCDH15 related retinal degeneration 3. Contribute to the identification of populations for future clinical trials of investigative treatments for PCDH15 related retinal degeneration Study Objectives The primary objectives of the natural history study are to: 1. Characterize the natural history of retinal degeneration associated with biallelic pathogenic mutations in the PCDH15gene over 4 years, as measured using functional, structural, and patient-reported outcome measures 2. Explore whether structural outcome measures can be validated as surrogates for functional outcomes in individuals with biallelic pathogenic mutations in the PCDH15 gene 3. Explore possible risk factors (genotype, phenotype, environmental, and comorbidities) for progression of the outcome measures at 4 years in individuals with biallelic pathogenic mutations in the PCDH15 gene 4. Explore variability and symmetry of left and right eye outcomes over 4 years in individuals with biallelic pathogenic mutations in the PCDH15 gene ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
