BEST1-related recessive retinopathy

This study tests a device called PRIMA, which is implanted under the retina to help people with inherited retinal diseases like Stargardt disease and retinitis pigmentosa see better. The trial will enroll 5 adults with severe central vision loss and measure improvements in visual…

This study tests whether injecting a person's own bone marrow stem cells into or near the eye can help treat various retinal and optic nerve diseases, including age-related macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, and glaucoma. Participants receive stem cell injections via dif…

This early-stage trial tests a gene therapy called OPGx-BEST1 for two rare inherited eye diseases that cause vision loss. About 10 adults will receive a single injection into one eye to see if it is safe and to find the best dose. The study will follow participants for 5 years to…

This study tests a new eye imaging device (VG200D OCT) that takes detailed pictures of the retina. It compares these images to standard dye-based images (FA/ICGA) to see if the new device works just as well. About 30 adults with retina problems will take part. The goal is to see …

This study tests a special camera that takes detailed images of the retina using many wavelengths of light. Researchers hope it can find early signs of eye diseases like age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma. About 1,000 adults in Melbourne, Austral…

This study looks at whether disulfiram (Antabuse), a drug used for alcohol use disorder, can improve vision in people with retinal degeneration (like macular degeneration or retinitis pigmentosa). Researchers believe it may calm overactive cells in the retina. The study involves …

This study tests whether adding emotional regulation therapy (ERT) to standard low vision rehabilitation (LVR) helps people with inherited retinal diseases who feel anxious or distressed about their vision. About 180 participants will receive LVR, which includes free vision-enhan…

This international study aims to collect genetic and health information from 1,500 people with rare inherited retinal diseases like retinitis pigmentosa. It has two parts: a registry to gather genetic and vision data, and a natural history study that follows participants over tim…

This study uses a special camera (adaptive optics) to take detailed pictures of the back of the eye in people with inherited retinal diseases. Researchers want to see how individual cells change over time and after treatments. About 200 participants aged 5 to 70 will be observed,…

This study enrolls 25 people with severe retinal diseases like retinitis pigmentosa and Stargardt disease to test new ways of measuring visual function. Researchers will evaluate how well participants can perform various vision tests, such as navigating obstacles or detecting lig…

This study looks back at 3,000 hospital patients to see if those who got a flu shot, took blood pressure meds (ACEI/ARB), antihistamines, or amantadine had better COVID-19 outcomes. Researchers want to know if these common treatments can reduce deaths or shorten hospital stays. N…

This study gathers eye scan images from 180 people with healthy eyes or eye diseases like glaucoma and retinal disease. The goal is to collect data using a new optical coherence tomography (OCT) device called A10900. No treatment or medication is given. The information will help …

This study looks at how color vision changes over time in people with inherited retinal diseases (IRDs). Researchers will study 200 participants, including those with IRDs and healthy volunteers, to see how color vision loss relates to changes in the retina's structure. They are …
