Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study follows 60 people with Usher syndrome type 1B, a rare genetic condition causing deafness and progressive vision loss. Researchers will measure how vision changes over time using standard eye tests and new virtual reality tools. No treatment is given; the goal is to better understand the disease and validate tests for future trials.

Inclusion Criteria: * Be at least 3 years old; * Have a clinical diagnosis of USH1 in both eyes, meaning subjects with congenital profound deafness, vestibular dysfunction, and rod dystrophy, carrying biallelic class 4 or 5 variants in the MYO7A gene; * Be affiliated with or beneficiary of a social security system (according to article L1121-8-1 of the French Public Health Code); For participants in the MOST-VR mobility test and VR-ViSA visual search test (Streetlab), additional criteria apply: * Sufficient knowledge of spoken and signed French to ensure understanding of tasks and instructions; * Have a cochlear implant allowing comprehension of auditory instructions for the virtual reality mobility test and a MMSE score ≥ 20/25; * Age between 18 and 75 years. Exclusion Criteria: * Unable to participate in all study visits; * Expected to enter an experimental treatment trial at any time during this study; * Presence of ocular conditions that may affect eye status other than retinitis pigmentosa (e.g., history of retinal detachment, glaucoma, vein occlusion, diabetic retinopathy, etc.); * Participation in the previous gene replacement trial (USHSTAT, NCT01505062); * Pregnant, delivering, or breastfeeding women (according to article L1121-5 of the French Public Health Code); * Persons deprived of liberty by judicial or administrative decision (article L1121-6 of the French Public Health Code); * Adults under legal protection measures or unable to provide consent (article L1121-8 of the French Public Health Code). For participants in the MOST-VR mobility and VR-ViSA visual search tests, the following non-inclusion criteria apply: * MMSE score without visual items ≤ 20/25; * Physical or cognitive impairment that could interfere with mobility; * Medication that may cause motor, visual, or cognitive disorders (e.g., APS, neuroleptics) or interfere with study assessments.
