Retinal implant for central vision loss in inherited eye disease
Part of Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial tests a new implant (PRIMA) placed under the retina to help restore central vision in people with inherited retinal degeneration. If you have very poor central vision and a large enough area of retinal damage, this device may help you see better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have a confirmed inherited retinal disease that affects the central vision in both eyes.
- Your vision in the eye to be treated is 20/320 or worse (very poor central vision).
- The damaged area in the center of your retina is at least the size of the implant (about 4.5 mm²).
- You are willing and able to attend all follow-up visits and sign the consent form.

This trial tests a gentle laser treatment (SML) for people with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), an inherited eye disease that slowly causes vision loss. The goal is to see if the laser can help slow or improve vision problems like night blindness and tunnel vision.
This trial tests an oral medication (NPI-001) to see if it can preserve the light-sensing cells in the retina for people with retinitis pigmentosa caused by Usher syndrome. It lasts 24 months and requires several eye exams to monitor changes.
This study tests a new eye injection containing pitavastatin, a drug normally used for cholesterol, wrapped in tiny particles. The goal is to see if it is safe and if it can help slow vision loss in people with retinitis pigmentosa.
This trial tests a new peptide therapy for people with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a genetic eye disease that causes vision loss. The goal is to see if the treatment is safe and can help slow or improve vision loss.
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.
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.
