This trial tests a new drug, ALK-001, to see if it can slow down vision loss from Stargardt disease. It is for people who have a confirmed genetic diagnosis and are between 8 and 45 years old.
This study tests a new way to measure vision, called MLSDT, in people with normal sight or vision loss from Stargardt disease or geographic atrophy (a type of advanced age-related macular degeneration). Results will help doctors better understand how well patients can see.
This trial tests whether a powder made from a special algae can help improve vision in teenagers with retinitis pigmentosa, a genetic condition that causes vision loss. The algae contains a form of vitamin A that might protect the retina.
This Phase 1 trial tests the safety and side effects of ASP7317 in older adults whose central vision is worsening from dry age-related macular degeneration (geographic atrophy). If you qualify, you would receive treatment in the study eye and be closely monitored for about a year.
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.
