New hope for rare eye disease: drug trial targets vision loss
NCT ID NCT06388083
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a drug called tinlarebant in 60 people with Stargardt disease, a genetic condition that causes vision loss. The goal is to see if the drug can slow damage to the retina and preserve eyesight. Participants take the drug or a placebo, and researchers measure changes in eye health over time.
