Retinal Dystrophies clinical trials in California
We’re tracking 5 recruiting retinal dystrophies studies with a site in California — including Phase 1/Phase 2 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in California
- NCT06375239Recruiting
Study of tests for tracking vision in retinal disease
This study will check if certain vision tests work well in people with retinal diseases like retinitis pigmentosa or Stargardt. Results will help design future trials.
Irvine, 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+ - NCT05589714Recruiting
Study your rare eye gene and track retinal disease over time
This study builds a registry and tracks the natural history of rare retinal dystrophies while also testing people for disease-causing gene variants. It may help researchers better understand what causes retinal degeneration and how it progresses.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 4 years+ - NCT06789445RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cell therapy for inherited retinal disease (CLARICO)
This study tests a new cell therapy (OpCT-001) for adults with inherited retinal diseases that affect the light-sensing cells. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and possibly helps improve vision.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05294978Recruiting
Testing a new light-based treatment for certain eye vision loss
This trial studies a light-guided eye treatment in people with generalized inherited retinal disease (a genetic cause of vision loss). It aims to see whether the approach works safely and can improve function for people whose vision is already significantly reduced.

What taking part in a retinal dystrophies study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
Common questions
- Are there retinal dystrophies clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 5 recruiting retinal dystrophies studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a retinal dystrophies study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a retinal dystrophies trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New retinal dystrophies studies open in California regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
