About this study

Official title: Natural History Study of Usher Syndrome in a Cohort of Patients Followed Longitudinally for 5 Years

Clinical centres in the LIGHT4DEAF consortium have developed and will continue to improve a reliable, early molecular diagnosis and protocols for full clinical characterisation of Usher syndrome, which will be valuable for the foreseen USH clinical trials. The clinical arm of the project aims at performing a deep-phenotyping of retinal degeneration, hearing loss, vestibular dysfunction, neurocognitive ability of subects with a molecular diagnosis of any Usher syndrome. Functional and structural parameters for retinal, auditory, and vestibular impairments are followed overtime to document the natural history of the disease and establish relevant clinical endpoint for disease progression that may be useful for future clinical trials.

Read the detailed description

Our cohort study aims at precisely documenting ophthalmic, auditory, vestibular, cogninitive alterations over time with phenotype/genotype correlation Ophthalmological assessment; Best corrected visual acuity, kynetic perimetry, microperimetry, colour contrast sensitivity, retinal multimodal imaging (fundus photograph, fundus autofluorescence, SD-OCT, OCTA, adaptive optics)

ENT assessment:

Tone and voice audiometry, Distortion product otoacoustic emissions Language assessment for children

Vestibular assessment:

Complete assessment of vestibular, canal and otolithic function Neuro-cognitive and visio spatial assessment Genetic: deep-genotyping using next generation sequencing

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Usher Syndromes, run by Centre Hospitalier National d'Ophtalmologie des Quinze-Vingts at 4 sites in France.

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 3 inclusion and 1 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in France. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Isabelle AUDO, Pr (0140021430, isabelle.audo@inserm.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

5-year natural history of Usher syndrome (time frame: From date of inclusion until the date of last documented progression , assessed up to 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 14 Dec 2020.
