Filter by:This is a post-market study of the Argus II Retinal Prosthesis System. The study is being conducted in France. The objective of the study is to obtain data to further demonstrate the effectiveness and evaluate the safety of Argus II System in patients with retinitis pigmentosa who have a bare light perception or worse in both eyes.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of intravitreal injection of autologous bone marrow stem cells in patients with retinitis pigmentosa by a prospective, single-center, randomized, parallel, double-blind, phase I placebo-controlled clinical trial.
Objectives: To study the immediate effect and the persistent effect of Lycium barbarum (LB) treatment on retinal functions, especially the cone function, and retinal structure in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) Design: Randomised controlled double-masked trial Setting: Primary Care clinical trial Participants: 120 RP subjects will be recruited from Ophthalmology department at The University of Hong Kong and the Retina Hong Kong. Interventions: Subjects will be randomly allocated to LB (treated with LB granules) or control (treated with placebo) groups for 1 year. After the 1st year, both groups will stop the treatment and all subjects will also have the same eye exam in 6-month period for the 2nd year. Main outcome measures: The primary outcome is the total sensitivity scores of 30-2 & 60-4 programmes of Humphrey Visual Field Analysis (HVFA). The secondary outcomes are the b-wave amplitudes of Full-field Electroretinogram (ffERG) responses, the amplitudes of direct component and induced component of Multifocal Electroretinogram (mfERG), and the ETDRS visual acuity.
Background: - Some people with retinitis pigmentosa (RP) have macular edema (swelling) in the central retina. This can cause decreased central vision. The cause of macular edema is unknown, but may involve inflammation. The drug minocycline might help prevent inflammation and therefore might help treat macular edema and improve central visual function . Objectives: - To see if minocycline helps people with RP and macular edema. Eligibility: - People 12 years and older with RP who have macular edema in at least on eye. Design: - Participants will be screened with medical and eye disease history. They will have an eye exam and blood tests. One eye with macular edema will be the study eye. If both eyes are affected, one will be designated the study eye. - Participants will visit the clinic at least 9 times over at least 14 months. The first 3 study visits will be monthly, then every 2 months. - Participants will start taking minocycline after visit 3. They will take 1 pill twice daily for at least 1 year. - Participants will keep a medicine diary and bring it to each visit with their pill bottle and unused pills. At each study visit, participants will have some or all of the following tests: - eye and thyroid exams - blood and pregnancy tests - microperimetry: participants will press a button when they see a light on a computer screen - visual field measurement: participants will look at spots on a white screen to test side vision - electroretinogram: A person will be dark adapted by sitting in the dark for 30 minutes. After the placement of numbing eye drops, special contact lenses will be placed . The participant will watch flashing lights and recordings will be made.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of two dose regimens of recombinant human nerve growth factor (rhNGF) eye drops solution administered over 6 months versus a vehicle control in patients with typical retinitis pigmentosa. The secondary objective of this study is to attempt to show a dose response by assessing the potential efficacy of the rhNGF dose regimens for improving or slowing the deterioration of visual function outcomes at 3 and 6 months. During a 6 month follow-up period patients will be monitored to determine if there is evidence of a persistent biological effect after discontinuation of the study treatment.
Measures of vision in RP patients receiving promising therapy using transcorneal electrical stimulation.
The aim of this study is to determine whether 9-cis-beta Caroten rich D. Brdawiil extract is effective in the treatment of retinitis pigmentosa in adolescent patients.
Objective perimetry can better monitor visual field defects in retinal dystrophy and Glaucoma patients than conventional subjective perimetry. The PLR ( Pupil Light Reflex to short and long wavelength stimuli should be significantly lower compared to healthy participants in areas of visual field defects in retinal dystrophy and Glaucoma patients.
In this study, markers of oxidative stress will be measured in the aqueous humour and plasma of RP patients compared to controls.
Retinitis pigmentosa is an eye disease in which there is damage to the retina. The retina is the layer of tissue at the back of the inner eye that converts light images to nerve signals and sends them to the brain.Autologous Bone Marrow derived Mono Nuclear Stem Cell (BMMNCs) is used for this condition .
