NCT ID NCT03845218
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study looked at how well different eye tests can track changes in retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a group of blinding eye diseases. Researchers tested 49 people with RP and healthy volunteers using exams like vision tests, retinal imaging, and electrical signal recordings. The goal was to find which tests are most reliable for measuring disease progression, which could help design better future treatment trials.
