New study tracks eye disease in rare genetic disorder
NCT ID NCT06190626
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 30 people with Zellweger Spectrum Disorder over 5 years to understand how their vision changes over time. Participants will have yearly vision tests, physical exams, and blood work. The goal is to define the course of retinal degeneration and find the best ways to monitor it.
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 could provide doctors and families with clear information on how vision loss progresses in Zellweger Spectrum Disorder and which tests best track it.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study with only 30 participants, so findings may not apply to all patients. It does not test any treatment.
