First-in-human, dose-escalation test of AXV-101 for BBS1-related retinal degeneration
AXV-101 is tested in children and teens with BBS1 retinal degeneration to see if it is safe, find a good dose, and measure how much drug appears in blood, urine, and tears.
-
Dapagliflozin (an SGLT2 inhibitor) for slowing geographic atrophy in dry AMD
This trial will test whether taking dapagliflozin once daily can slow the growth of geographic atrophy in people aged 50 and older with dry age-related macular degeneration.
-
Investigating OpCT-001 for treating primary photoreceptor disease
This study is testing a new treatment called OpCT-001 to see if it can safely help adults with primary photoreceptor diseases, like Retinitis Pigmentosa and Usher Syndrome, improve their vision.
-
Minocycline treatment for chronic autoimmune uveitis
This study is testing if minocycline can help people aged 18-60 with chronic autoimmune uveitis reduce inflammation and protect their vision better than current treatments.
-
Imaging of outer retinal diseases using adaptive optics
This study is trying to take detailed pictures of the retina in people with outer retinal diseases to help find better ways to diagnose and understand these conditions.
-
Advanced imaging techniques for eye conditions
This study is testing new advanced imaging techniques to see if they can help doctors better understand and diagnose eye diseases like retinitis pigmentosa and maculopathy.
-
Investigating rod and cone function in retinal diseases
This study is testing how well the light-sensitive cells in the eyes work in people with retinal diseases and healthy volunteers to help understand vision changes in low light.
-
Collecting cells to study eye diseases
This study is collecting hair, skin, and blood samples from people with certain eye diseases to see how these conditions develop and find new treatments.
