Eye disease study lays groundwork for gene therapy breakthrough
NCT ID NCT04639635
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at a rare, inherited eye disease called CNGB1 retinitis pigmentosa that causes gradual vision loss and blindness. Researchers want to learn how the disease progresses by using eye exams and imaging tests over three years. The goal is to find the best ways to measure vision changes so that future gene therapy trials can be more effective. No treatment is given in this study.
