Clinical Trial Summary

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.


Clinical Trial Description

After a genetic confirmation of RP and classification, the patients will undergo a comprehensive ophthalmological examination that includes the following tests: slit-lamp anterior segment, visual acuity direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy, intraocular pressure, and family history.In order to evaluate the potential role of RPE in the advancement of RP, HD-OCT and OCT angiography images of the outer retina using OCT devices will be performed. Analysis of high-resolution images captured with an ultrawidefield system using a Zeiss Clarus device in order to determine the condition of the peripheral retina.Finally, Flicker Electroretinogram (fERG) performed on the central retina (macula), to assess the central macular function within an 18° field of view. This assessment involved measuring the response of the macula to a flickering stimulus with a frequency of 41 Hz, which is commonly done in routine clinical practice. ;
