Clinical Trial Summary

In this prospective pilot study without control group children and young adults (10-25 years old) diagnosed with Bardet-Biedl syndrome and treated with Metformin for their adipositas will be evaluated for a possible additional effect of Metformin on visual acuity.


Clinical Trial Description

Within experiments with animals a positive effect of Metformin concerning the photo receptors was shown. Several patients of the university hospital Tübingen with Bardet-Biedl-Syndrome and Metformin therapy due to their adipositas reported a subjective improvement of the visual acuity which was confirmed by opthalmologic tests.

This will be checked in a prospective pilot study without control group including children and young adults (10-25 years old) diagnosed with Bardet-Biedl syndrome and treated with Metformin for their adipositas. Therefore a possible additional effect of Metformin on visual acuity will be evaluated under controlled conditions. ;
