X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) is a rare hereditary eye disease that causes irreversible vision loss in boys and young men. This disease occurs in 1 in 10,000-30,000. This inherited condition is caused by pathogenic variants in a single gene, namely the Retinoschisin 1 (RS1). This gene encodes the retinoschisin protein. Pathological variants of retinoschisin lead to loss of retinal integrity, resulting in the characteristic cystoid fluid collections (CFC). From a young age, XLRS patients experience a gradual deterioration of vision. In middle-aged patients however, XLRS may be associated with macular atrophy because of the confluence of the cystoid lesions. No permanent treatment is yet available for XLRS patients. Currently, two different phase I/II studies are investigating the safety and effectivity of subretinal gene therapy. To create optimal retinal condition before gene therapy, CFC, a hallmark of XLRS, should not be present. Topical and oral carbonic anhydrase II inhibitors are used to combat CME. This drug is still off-label prescribed for various hereditary retinal dystrophies. Consequently, there is no treatment regimen for prescribing acetazolamide to XLRS patients. A thorough understanding of the safety and efficacy of acetazolamide in reducing the central foveal thickness in XLRS patients is required before applying future gene therapy. The proposed study is a investigator-initiated, single-center, prospective, experimental study consisting of seven visits at 2, 4, 12, 16, 20 and 32 weeks after the baseline evaluation visit. During each visit, participants will perform several ophthalmological measurements. In this study, participants with XLRS will be randomized into either a treatment or control group. The null-hypothesis of this study is that acetazolamide effectively reduces the central foveal thickness in patients with XLRS and significantly improves their visual function. The alternative hypothesis is that acetazolamide reduces not effectively the central foveal thickness in patients with XLRS and has no significant impact on their visual function. Treatment success will be based not only on anatomical improvement, but also on functional endpoints, which are most important from a patient's perspective. The study will last 32 weeks per participant. Each participant will come physically for seven visits. The whole study will last for max. 24 months. The examinations and number of visits are reduced to a minimum. In contrast to clinical care, the participants receive examinations that consist of a more extensive measurement of visual acuity, microperimetry and a questionnaire. These extra examinations are required to evaluate the functional vision-related endpoints of the study.
This trial is meant to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ZM-01 of X-linked retinoschisis. Unilateral intravitreal injections (IVT) will be given into the subject's Study Eye.
This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of ATSN-201 in male subjects ≥ 6 years of age with RS1-associated X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS).
The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LX103 treatment of X-linked retinoschisis. This study will enroll subjects aged ≥ 6 years old to receive a single unilateral intravitreal (IVT) injection of LX103 to evaluate its safety and efficacy.
High myopic schisis (HMF) has the clinical feature of separation between retinal layers. It is sometimes accompanied with foveal retinal detachment, macular lamellar hole, epiretinal membrane and vitreous retraction. HMF may develop to macular hole, macular detachment and will damage the visual function. Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) is a commonly used surgery in the treatment of HMF. PPV together with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling and long-term gas tamponade was reported to be safe and effective. But nowadays there was no available long-term gas in our country. Also, whether ILM peeling is necessary remains controversial, Indole cyanine green (ICG)was proved to have potential toxicity to the retina and the ILM peeling has the risk of causing secondary macular hole. We propose to make a prospective nonrandomized controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficiency of using PPV alone in the treatment of HMF.
The My Retina Tracker® Registry is sponsored by the Foundation Fighting Blindness and is for people affected by one of the rare inherited retinal degenerative diseases studied by the Foundation. It is a patient-initiated registry accessible via a secure on-line portal at www.MyRetinaTracker.org. Affected individuals who register are guided to create a profile that captures their perspective on their retinal disease and its progress; family history; genetic testing results; preventive measures; general health and interest in participation in research studies. The participants may also choose to ask their clinician to add clinical measurements and results at each clinical visit. Participants are urged to update the information regularly to create longitudinal records of their disease, from their own perspective, and their clinical progress. The overall goals of the Registry are: to better understand the diversity within the inherited retinal degenerative diseases; to understand the prevalence of the different diseases and gene variants; to assist in the establishment of genotype-phenotype relationships; to help understand the natural history of the diseases; to help accelerate research and development of clinical trials for treatments; and to provide a tool to investigators that can assist with recruitment for research studies and clinical trials.
Objective: To evaluate the clinical manifestations and surgical prognosis of macular tractional retinoschisis in proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Design: Retrospective case series. Participants: Cases with macular tractional retinoschisis with or without combined traction detachment (TRD) in proliferative diabetic retinopathy confirmed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) at a single institution between January 2007 and August 2010. Methods: Cases were divided into two groups. Group A had tractional retinoschisis only while Group B had TRD with retinoschisis of the elevated retina. Clinical data including OCT findings were recorded and analyzed. Main Outcome Measures: Demographic data, clinical pictures, surgical results, and OCT findings will be compared between two the groups.
This study will explore the causes and eye problems of X-linked juvenile retinoschisis (XLRS), an inherited disease that causes vision loss primarily in young males. The vision loss, which worsens over time, is a result of schisis, or splitting, of the layers of the retina (tissue that lines the back of the eye). A better understanding of why and how XLRS develops might lead to improved treatments. Patients 9 months of age and older with XLRS and females who are suspected carriers of the gene responsible for the disease (such as the mother of the patient) may be eligible for this study. Other family members of patients also may be enrolled. Patients will undergo the following tests and procedures: - Personal and family medical history to review past and current medical conditions and treatments, particularly regarding eye disease, and to construct a family tree. - Eye examination to assess visual acuity (eye chart test) and examine pupils, lens, retina, and eye movements. The pupils will be dilated with drops for this examination. - Photography of the retina to help evaluate the status of the retina. - Specialized eye tests to evaluate color vision, field of vision, and ability to see in the dark. - Electroretinogram (ERG) to examine what happens to the eyes after a flash of bright light. For this test, the patient sits in a dark room for 30 minutes with his or her eyes patched. Then, a small silver disk electrode is taped to the forehead, the eye patches are removed, the surface of the eye is numbed with eye drops and contact lenses are placed on the eyes. The patient looks inside a large empty bowl and then a light flashes, first in the dark and then with a light turned on inside the bowl. The contact lenses sense small electrical signals generated by the retina when the light flashes. - Blood test to examine DNA for genetic study of XLRS. Family members will provide a blood sample for genetic study.
