NCT ID NCT06636344

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether offering personalized follow-up, including video visits, helps more people with pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) get proper care. PXE causes calcium buildup in skin, eyes, and blood vessels, leading to vision loss and other problems. The researchers will track 650 patients over several years to see if the new approach increases the number of people who stay in regular care.
