This trial tests whether disulfiram, a drug used for alcohol use disorder, can improve vision in people with retinal degeneration. You must have an alcohol use diagnosis and agree to avoid alcohol for 6 months.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07002372Recruiting
Watching a video before your first eye injection
This study tests whether watching a short video before your first eye injection helps you feel more at ease. It is for people who have never had this injection before.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07205887RecruitingPhase 2
Study of EYE103 for wet AMD or macular edema after BRVO
This trial tests an investigational drug called EYE103 injected into the eye to treat two conditions: wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or macular edema following a branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). It looks at how safe and effective the drug is for people who have not had treatment before or have not responded well to previous treatments.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07215390RecruitingPhase 2
Study of APL-3007 plus Syfovre for geographic atrophy
This trial tests whether a new drug called APL-3007, when added to your current Syfovre treatment, can slow the progression of geographic atrophy (an advanced form of dry age-related macular degeneration). It's for people who have already been on Syfovre for at least 6 months.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 60 years+ - NCT07594236RecruitingPhase 1
Experimental Cell Therapy for Retinal Degeneration
This early-stage study tests a new cell-based treatment (C.001) for inherited retinal diseases that affect the back of the eye. The treatment may help slow vision loss or improve sight in people with geographic atrophy or Stargardt disease.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07502664Recruiting
A study on vision and navigation in inherited retinal disease
This study is looking at how people with inherited retinal disease that affects peripheral vision see and move around. It will test a new way to measure vision and navigation to see if it can help doctors understand how the disease affects daily life.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06203106Recruiting
NYSCF Scientific Discovery Biobank
This study collects blood, saliva, or skin samples from people with certain neurological conditions and from healthy volunteers to help researchers better understand and find treatments for these diseases.
