NCT07292987
This study explores whether adding early nurse-led and psychological support after the diagnosis of retinitis pigmentosa (RP) can improve patient experience and emotional well-being. RP is a rare, progressive eye disease often diagnosed after a long and difficult process, and receiving the diagnosis can be emotionally distressing. Eighty newly diagnosed adults will be randomly assigned to either usual care or an enhanced pathway that includes early follow-up with a nurse, structured emotional monitoring, and a psychologist visit at six months. The study aims to determine if this structured support improves patient satisfaction and reduces anxiety and depression compared with standard care.
NCT06789445
Study OpCT-001-101 is a Phase 1/2a first-in-human, multisite, 2-part interventional study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and the effect on clinical outcomes of OpCT-001 in up to approximately 54 adults with primary photoreceptor (PR) disease. Phase 1 will focus on safety and features a dose-escalation design. Phase 2 is designed to gather additional safety data and assess the effect of OpCT-001 on measures of visual function, functional vision, and anatomic measures of engraftment in different clinical subgroups.
NCT07265895
Inherited Retinal Diseases (IRDs) are a heterogeneous group of genetically based degenerative retinal disorders, representing a major cause of visual impairment and blindness in working-age adults. Despite the approval of the first gene therapy for RPE65-related IRD (voretigene neparvovec) in 2017, most IRDs remain untreatable, though many gene therapies are in development. Effective trial design and therapy development require a deep understanding of disease natural history and genotype-phenotype correlations. Over 270 IRD-associated genes are known (e.g., ABCA4, USH2A, RPGR, PRPH2, BEST1), each linked to distinct phenotypes and clinical progression. This retrospective study analyzes clinical, functional, and imaging data (Optical Coherence Tomography, Fundus Autofluorescence, Microperimetry) from a large, genetically characterized IRD cohort at the IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele up to December 31, 2025. The aims are to describe natural history, define genotype-phenotype relationships, and identify structural and functional outcome measures useful for future clinical trial endpoints, supporting personalized prognosis and trial design.
NCT07266584
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the PRIMA Products in participants with inherited retinal degeneration affecting the macula (including but not limited to Stargardt disease, and Retinitis Pigmentosa). Eligible participants will be implanted with the PRIMA Stim implant. The participants will be assessed with various visual function and functional vision tests at defined timepoints throughout the clinical investigation with the PRIMA Products. The purpose of this study is to gather enough clinical data to support the clinical evaluation required for the continuous development to improve the PRIMA Products.
NCT06787482
Summary of the Study This clinical trial evaluates a novel peptide-based therapy for treating retinal dystrophies, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and diabetic retinopathy (DR). The therapy consists of peptides derived from fetal tissues, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and bioactive growth factors, administered sublingually for systemic absorption. Study Objectives: Primary Objectives: Assess safety and tolerability, and evaluate the therapy's effects on retinal function and structure. Secondary Objectives: Explore improvements in visual acuity, retinal thickness, vascular health, and disease biomarkers. Study Design: Type: Open-label, single-arm interventional study. Duration: 12 months. Participants: 150 adults, divided into three cohorts: Retinal dystrophies. AMD (dry and wet forms). DR (moderate NPDR and PDR). Intervention: A sublingual solution containing peptides and growth factors, taken 4 times daily. Outcome Measures: Primary Outcomes: Safety (adverse events) and tolerability (treatment adherence). Secondary Outcomes: Functional: Visual acuity and field sensitivity improvements. Structural: Retinal thickness and vascular health. Biomarkers: Serum VEGF, oxidative stress, and inflammatory markers. Study Procedures: Monthly follow-ups for safety monitoring, vision tests, retinal imaging (OCT, FA), and blood biomarker analysis. Comprehensive evaluations at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months. Significance: The study aims to provide an innovative, non-invasive treatment for debilitating retinal conditions, potentially improving vision and retinal health through systemic therapy.
NCT01543906
The purpose of this study is: * To evaluate whether 7-day treatment with oral QLT091001 can improve visual function in RP subjects with an autosomal dominant mutation in RPE65. * To evaluate duration of visual function improvement (if observed) in RP subjects with an autosomal dominant mutation in RPE65 after 7-day treatment with oral QLT091001. * To evaluate the safety of oral QLT091001 administered once daily for 7 days in RP subjects with an autosomal dominant mutation in RPE65.
