Summary: The primary objective of this trial is to assesses the efficacy of tinlarebant in slowing the rate of growth of atrophic lesion(s) in adolescent subjects with STGD1

Summary: The purpose of this study is to test whether a kind of brain stimulation called anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (a-tDCS) can be combined with perceptual learning to improve the ability of people with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or juvenile macular degeneration (JMD) to read words presented to them on a computer screen better than if perceptual learning alone were used.~In...

Summary: Background:~ABCA4 retinopathy is a genetic disease in which the ABCA4 protein is absent or faulty. It can cause waste material to collect in the eye and may cause cells to die. The cell death can lead to vision loss. Researchers want to see if an oral drug called metformin can help.~Objective:~To see if metformin is safe and possibly helps to slow the rate of ABCA4 retinopathy.~Eligibility:~People...

Summary: The purpose of this open-label, multicenter study is to determine the long-term safety, pharmacokinetics and effects of ALK-001 (C20-D3-retinyl acetate) on the progression of Stargardt disease. This study is an extension of NCT02402660 and enrolls participants who are at least 8 years old. Enrollment is by invitation only.~Funding Source - FDA OOPD

Summary: Ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) is a multisystem disease with diverse manifestations, including progressive neurodegeneration, immunodeficiency, respiratory disease, and genomic instability. One of the most important features of A-T is the increased predisposition to cancer, especially to lymphoid malignancies. Patients with A-T are generally excluded from collaborative clinical trials, their treatmen...

Summary: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Zimura™ (complement factor C5 inhibitor) compared to Sham in subjects with autosomal recessive Stargardt disease 1 (STGD1).

Summary: In this study, markers of oxidative stress will be measured in the aqueous humour of stargardt disease, age related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy patients compared to controls.

Summary: Background:~Retinal diseases cause the loss of rod and cone photoreceptors. Symptoms include vision loss and night blindness. Researchers want to learn about rod and cone function in healthy people and people with retinal disease. They want to know if how well a person sees in the dark can test the severity of retinal disease.~Objectives:~To find out if how well a person sees in the dark can test ...

Summary: This study will evaluate the use of autologous bone marrow derived stem cells (BMSC) for the treatment of retinal and optic nerve damage or disease.

Summary: Medical progress and modification of lifestyles have prolonged life expectancy, despite the development of chronic diseases. The support and care are often provided by a network of informal caregivers composed of family, friends, and neighbors. They became essential to help maintening the elderly persons to live at home. It has been demonstrated that the importance and the diversity of informal ta...

Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine the long term safety and tolerability of ALK-001 (C20-D3-retinyl acetate), and to explore the effects of ALK-001 on the progression of Stargardt disease in patients between the ages of 8 and 70 years old.~Funding Source - FDA OOPD

Summary: The My Retina Tracker® Registry is sponsored by the Foundation Fighting Blindness and is for people affected by one of the rare inherited retinal degenerative diseases studied by the Foundation. It is a patient-initiated registry accessible via a secure on-line portal at www.MyRetinaTracker.org. Affected individuals who register are guided to create a profile that captures their perspective on the...
