New study seeks volunteers for future eye disease treatment
NCT ID NCT06445322
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This prescreening study aims to identify up to 50 people with ABCA4-related retinopathy, including Stargardt disease, for possible participation in future ACDN-01 clinical trials. Participants will undergo genetic testing and various eye exams to confirm their condition. This is an observational study only, meaning no treatment is given.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study will help find the right participants for future trials of ACDN-01, a potential treatment for Stargardt disease and related retinal conditions.
- What could go wrong
- This is only a prescreening study, not a treatment trial. It does not test any therapy, and there is no guarantee that participants will qualify for or benefit from future studies.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Key Inclusion Criteria: * Presence of mutations in the ABCA4 gene * ABCA4 retinopathy phenotype (Stargardt disease type 1 or cone-rod dystrophy) Key Exclusion Criteria: * The presence of pathogenic or likely pathogenic mutations in other genes known to cause cone-rod dystrophy or Stargardt maculopathy * Retinal disease other than ABCA4-related retinopathy * Presence of a medical condition (systemic or ophthalmic), psychiatric condition, including substance abuse disorder, or physical examination or laboratory finding that may in the opinion of the principal investigator and sponsor preclude adherence to the scheduled study visits, safe participation in the study, or affect the results of the study.
