Filter by:The goal of this phase 1 clinical trial is to learn about the safety and efficacy of a gene therapy, VG901, in patients with a rare disorder of the eye called Retinitis Pigmentosa. The main questions the study aims to answer are: - What is the best tolerated dose and are there any side effects, in particular any inflammatory reactions post drug administration? - Are there any early signs of efficacy on visual function? Participants will be administered a single intravitreal dose of VG901 into the most affected eye through a syringe and followed up for a year to monitor safety and efficacy. There will be two cohorts of participants in this study. Study Cohort 1 will receive the low dose and Study Cohort 2 will receive the high dose as specified in the Protocol.
This Phase 2 study is a non-randomized, open-label, study of the safety of AGTC-501 in participants with XLRP who have previously been treated with a full-length AAV vector-based gene therapy targeting RPGR protein.
The aim of this clinical trials is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravitreal injection of GMP-compliant BM-MSC-derived sEVs in patients with retinitis pigmentosa.
This study will assess the effect of 2 different colours of light on colour vision in adults with retinitis pigments (RP). Participants will be 18 years or above with a genetically confirmed molecular diagnosis of RP. After informed consent, participants will have their letter chart vision and colour vision measured in their study eye. They will then be they will be randomly allocated to one of 2 groups. The study team will not know which group they have been assigned to. Group 1 will be given a coloured-light hand-held torch and be asked to apply it to their study eye for 3 minutes at home each morning between 8 - 10 am for 28 days. Group 2 will be given a different colour hand-held torch and be asked to do the same. All participants will have their letter chart vision and colour vision measured at the end of study on day 28 (+ 7 days).
This study will be conducted following Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines. Eligible subjects will be consented to return for scheduled study visits for this study following their completion in study NTXMCO-002 (RESTORE). They will not receive a second treatment with MCO-010 (or a repeated sham injection) in this study
Background: Pyrimidine and purine metabolism disorders (DPPMs) affect how the body metabolizes chemicals called pyrimidines and purines. DPPMs can cause dysfunctions throughout the body, especially in the brain, blood, kidneys, and immune system. People with DPPMs might have no symptoms, mild symptoms, or they may have severe, chronic symptoms, that can be fatal. DPPMs are not well understood, and researchers want to learn more about what causes them and how to treat them. Objective: To learn more about factors that affect DPPMs by comparing test results from affected, uaffected family members, and healthy people. Eligibility: Three types of participants are needed: people aged 1 month and older with DPPMs; their family members who do not have DPPMs; and healthy volunteers. Design: Participants with DPPMs will come to the clinic once a year; some may be asked to come more often. At each visit, all affected participants will have a physical exam and give samples of blood, urine, saliva, and stool. Depending on their symptoms, they may also have other procedures, such as: Swabs of their skin and inside the mouth. Tests of their heart, kidney, brain, and nerve function. Questionnaires about what they eat. Dental exams, and exams of their hearing and vision. Tests of their learning ability. Monitoring of their physical activity. Imaging scans. Photographs of their face and body. These tests may be spread over up to 7 days. Affected participants may remain in the study indefinitely if they wish to. Healthy volunteers and family members will have 1 study visit. They will have a physical exam and may be asked to give blood, urine, saliva, and stool samples.
Glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), retinitis pigmentosa, RP, diabetic retinopathy (DR) are the most common blinding eye diseases in the world. Vision and visual field are often severely impaired, quality of life is reduced, and personal and family burdens are heavy. This kind of low vision people, can use visual AIDS and other instruments for visual rehabilitation training, maximize the function of residual vision, improve the quality of life. Beyes, HOLA, Acesight and OXSIGHT are among the latest eyeglasses devices that are expected to improve the quality of life for people with low vision. This research group intends to recruit advanced patients with primary glaucoma, AMD, RP, DR and other common blinding eye diseases who visited Zhongshan Ophthalmology Center of Sun Yat-sen University from June 2021 to December 2022 to study the changes of visual function and quality of life after wearing this new type of head-worn visual aids, and analyze relevant factors combined with clinical data. To evaluate the effect and influencing factors of the new head-mounted visual AIDS on patients, and provide theoretical basis for subsequent clinical research.
The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of bilateral subretinal delivery of adeno-associated virus vector with a serotype 5 capsid human rhodopsin kinase promoter. retinitis pigmentosa guanosine triphosphatase regulator (AAV5-hRKp.RPGR).
This study "A Long-Term Follow-Up Study in Subjects Who Received an Adeno-Associated Viral Vector Serotype 2 Containing the Multi-Characteristic Opsin Gene (vMCO-I) Administered Via Intravitreal Injection" is an observational study and will be conducted following Good Clinical Practice (GCP)- International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines. Eligible subjects satisfying all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria will be enrolled. All subject who completed the parent clinical study (NSCT/CT/18/01) will undergo safety and efficacy assessments up to 5 years post study drug injection
This clinical trial aims to test the safety and feasibility of using a non-invasive ultrasound device to stimulate retinal nerve cells and restore vision in patients with age-related macular degeneration. Previous studies have shown that artificial stimulation, such as electric and optic stimulations, can partially restore vision, but these methods are invasive and pose surgical risks. The study aims to develop a non-invasive method for retinal stimulation. The investigators will follow the FDA guidelines to limit the ultrasound power and adhere to all clinical trial regulations to ensure all participants' safety. The main questions the investigators aim to answer are: - Is using high-frequency ultrasound safe using a wearable device for localized retinal neural activity stimulation? - Does the stimulation through the device restore vision in patients with age-related macular degeneration? Participants in this study will be asked to undergo Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scanning before and after the ultrasound stimulation to evaluate the device's safety. Then, they will receive five stimulation-rest cycles and complete a questionnaire to report what they see and how they feel during the device's operation.
