Filter by:The purpose of this survey is to collect visual acuity data from patients with LHON in order to establish the clinical course (natural history) and visual acuity outcomes in patients with a genetically confirmed diagnosis of LHON. In addition, this survey will generate data that will serve as comparator for the open-label study SNT-IV-006.
LEROS is an open-label interventional Phase IV study, designed to further assess the efficacy and safety of Raxone® in the long-term treatment of LHON patients.
This study is a multicentre, prospective, non-interventional post-authorisation safety study (PASS) of the clinical outcomes for patients with LHON treated with Raxone®. No medication will be provided as part of this study. Raxone® will be obtained through commercial channels.
This is a Phase 2, prospective, randomized, double-masked, vehicle controlled, single-center study in approximately 12 subjects with LHON to evaluate safety, tolerability and efficacy of elamipretide (MTP-131) topical ophthalmic solution in this patient population. At the conclusion of 52 weeks of treatment, subjects will be offered the opportunity to enter an Open Label Extension for up to 48 additional weeks of treatment.
The purpose of the present study is to compare rates of glaucomatous optic neuropathy in professional wind versus non-wind instrument players in the Philadelphia Orchestra. A secondary objective is to evaluate intra-ocular pressure and choroidal thickness of wind instrument players under variable playing conditions.
Young children age 6 month to 6 years are often not able to cooperate for advanced OCT eye imaging. The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of a novel long-working distance swept source (SS) optical coherence tomography imaging system with fixation alignment for use first in young adults, older children, and then young children ages 6 months to 6 years. The investigator's future goal is to obtain important retinal and optic nerve information from OCT in clinic in these young children.
Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) may show chronic signs of optic neuropathy (CON) that may follow acute optic neuritis (secondary form of CON, S-CON) or occur independently of any acute demyelinating lesion of the optic nerve (primary form of CON, P-CON). In both S-CON and P-CON, a long term progressive ganglion cell axonal loss occurs. This axonal damage could be secondary to retrograde atrophy of axons within plaques of demyelination or a primary progressive degeneration of ganglion cells, but the underlying physiopathology has not been fully questioned in the different profile types of CON. In this project, investigators aim at understanding the pathophysiology of S-CON and P-CON, i.e. secondary to demyelination or primary degeneration, in patients complaining of persistent visual complaints. In a first cross sectional study, 30 MS patients with mild to moderate P-CPON or S-CON and 30 age-matched control subjects will perform an extensive neuro-ophthalmological assessment including clinical examination, visual evoked potentials (pattern and low contrast), electroretinogram (pattern and multifocal ERG), OCT (peripapillary and macular volume scan segmentation protocols) and MRI of the optic nerve. In these patients with mild to moderate CON, investigators aim at differentiating patients showing predominant demyelination from those showing pure or predominant axonal degeneration. Visual function assessment and degree of axonal degeneration will be compared and correlated in the two types of underlying pathophysiology and in the group of control subject. In a following longitudinal study, the patients will be re-assessed a year later in order to evaluate the progression of CON in both profile types. Our hypothesis would be that visual function and progression is worse in the degeneration group as compared to the demyelination group. This study should help to find reliable measures of the pathophysiology of CON and correlate it with the long-term visual prognostic of the disease.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability profile of ascending doses of GS010 in Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) patients.
The study objectives are to assess any changes in visual acuity and visual field observed following the administration of RPh201 during an overall treatment period of at least 13 consecutive weeks with an option to extended the treatment phase to another 13 weeks (26 weeks total), and at the follow-up visit at 3 month after end of treatment in patients with optic nerve neuropathy.
Transcorneal Electrical Stimulation (TES) using the "OkuStim®" device delivers electrical impulses to damaged and/or diseased photoreceptor cells. This electric stimulation of the retina may help to preserve visual acuity and/or the visual field.
