Stargardt Disease clinical trials in California
We’re tracking 10 recruiting stargardt disease studies with a site in California — including Phase 1, Phase 1/Phase 2 and Phase 2 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in California
- NCT06435000Recruiting
A study tracking Stargardt disease progression
This study follows people with Stargardt disease (a genetic eye condition that causes vision loss) over time. It aims to learn more about how the disease progresses and does not test any treatment.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 12–65 - NCT06445322Recruiting
Finding people with Stargardt disease for ACDN-01
This prescreening study looks for people with a specific genetic eye condition called Stargardt disease to see if they might be able to join a future trial for a new treatment called ACDN-01.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 5 years+ - NCT02402660Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Test ALK-001 for Stargardt disease eye changes and comfort
This Phase 2 study tests how well ALK-001 is tolerated and whether it can slow or improve vision-related changes in people with Stargardt disease. It mainly looks at safety (tolerability) and signs in the eye over about 24 months.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 8–70 - NCT07439887RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of an injection for Stargardt disease
This trial tests a single injection of a new medicine, RTx-021, into the eye for people with Stargardt disease. The goal is to see if it is safe and to find the right dose.
Bakersfield, CaliforniaAges 16 years+ - NCT07161544RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for Stargardt disease
This trial tests a new gene therapy, AAVB-039, for people with Stargardt disease caused by a specific gene mutation. The treatment is given during eye surgery and aims to slow or stop vision loss.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 8–55 - NCT06467344RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing ACDN-01 for ABCA4 Stargardt eye disease
This trial tests an experimental medicine called ACDN-01 for people with Stargardt retinopathy caused by ABCA4 gene mutations. The goal is to see if it can slow or stop vision loss in an eye with already damaged central vision.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT07425574Recruiting
Study on how Stargardt eye conditions progress in children and adults
This study observes how Stargardt disease and similar eye conditions change over time in children and adults. It aims to learn more about the disease progression to help develop future treatments.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 6 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+ - 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+ - 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+

What taking part in a stargardt disease 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 stargardt disease clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 10 recruiting stargardt disease 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 stargardt disease 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 stargardt disease 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 stargardt disease 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.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
