Filter by:The main objective of this study is to quantify vision parameters in subjects with concentric visual field constriction, and this in relation to the display on virtual reality goggles. More specifically: - The maximum brightness value for visual comfort (THRESHOLD_MAX) - The minimum value of the perceptible light contrast in low light perceptible (THRESHOLD_MIN) - The speed of light change adaptation in the range [THRESHOLD_MAX-THRESHOLD_MIN] and [THRESHOLD_MIN-THRESHOLD_MAX].
This study aims at investigating the therapeutic potential of recombinant human Nerve Growth Factor ( rhNGF ) eye drops treatment in patients with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) associated with cystoid macular edema (CME) in a phase II, randomized, double-masked, controlled clinical trial.
This study is a post-market clinical follow-up (PMCF) study to monitor the safety, lifetime and efficacy of patients using the CE-certified RETINA IMPLANT Alpha AMS.
Currently enrolling a total of 12 patients for Phase 2a of the study: 6 patients must have VA of no-better-than hand motion in the study eye, and 6 patients must have VA in the study eye to range from no-worse-than count fingers to 20/200 vision.
Several studies have shown that TES in RP patients may help to slow the progressive deterioration of this degenerative disease. The end point of this clinical trial is to slow or stop disease progression with weekly treatment using TES for 1 year.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of continuous oxygen therapy combined with blue light deprivation in prevention and control of retinitis pigmentosa, in order to find a new strategy of treatment for retinitis pigmentosa.
hRPC is a cell therapy for retinitis pigmentosa. This is a first-in-human, dose escalation study in which participants with retinitis pigmentosa will receive a single subretinal injection of hRPC cells in one eye to evaluate safety and tolerability. Participants will be followed for two years to evaluate the safety and tolerability of hRPC Additional testing will seek to establish any preliminary efficacy from hRPC.
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.
This study evaluates the safety and potential activity of a single dose of live human retinal progenitor cells (jCell) administered to adults with retinitis pigmentosa. Four different dose levels of cells will be assessed in each of two groups of patients.
Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is the most common form of hereditary retinal degeneration, with a worldwide prevalence of 1:3500. It is one of the most genetically heterogenous conditions in humans, with over 100 causative genes and loci reported to date. However, in approximately 40% of patients the underlying genetic causes are yet to be found. The current study aims to identify causative RP genes and mutations in Israeli families of various ethnic backgrounds. Identification of such genes will contribute significantly to disease prevention (by identification of high risk families and appropriate genetic counseling) and to the investigators understanding of retinal structure and function and of the etiology of RP.
