About this study

Official title: Calibration of Visual Function Evaluation Tests in Patients With Severe Vision Loss

The objective of this study is to develop the comprehensive visual function evaluation method in severe visually impaired patient

Read the detailed description

This study is a prospective observational study which consists of 4 Parts; Part 1A, 1B, 2 and 3. Part 1A has been conducted on 6 subjects diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa. Additional examination will be performed using alternative devices imported outside Japan on subjects who completed Part 1A and re-consented (Part 1B). Based on the interim result of Part 1A, Part 2 will be conducted on another 6 subjects with retinitis pigmentosa with improved methodology and the devices used in Part 1B. Part 3 will be conducted in 6 healthy volunteers to obtain comparative data using devices used in Part 1B.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Retinitis Pigmentosa, run by Astellas Pharma Inc at 1 site in Japan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Slit-lamp microscopy in Part 1A and 2 (time frame: Up to week 8). The study lists 23 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03281005, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Oct 2024.
