Brain malignancies are the most common cause of death from cancer in the pediatric population and a major source of morbidity amongst survivors. Many children with a brain tumour often suffer from visual field defects (hemianopia) dramatically impacting their daily life with poorer social interaction, difficulties learning, playing sports and engaging with peers. Practically, they bump into people and objects and have problems in finding their way in unfamiliar places and in detecting incoming objects in their blind field. There is growing recognition of the diverse and deep impact of hemianopia on physical and mental health, quality of life, and social outcomes of the affected individuals and their family. However, despite the frequent impact of brain tumours on the visual function and functional vision, ophthalmologic evaluations are not standard of care for all brain tumour patients and there are no standardized protocols of vision loss management in the pediatric population with hemianopia. There is an unmet need of restoring perception in the blind field in individuals with hemianopia consecutive to pediatric brain tumor. Our laboratory has developed a visual rehabilitation procedure based on the combination of adaptative audio and visual target tracking in a 3D environment in virtual reality. Participants perform audiovisual stimulation at home in a headset, with remote control from the laboratory. Preliminary on data on paediatric patients with hemianopia consecutive to a brain tumour indicate feasibility and potential effectiveness of a 6-week Re:Vision program on visual fields, visual perception and quality of life. Our objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of Re:Vision, an 8-week visual telerehabilitation program, on visual perception in 50 individuals aged 10-40 years old with hemianopia consecutive to a pediatric brain tumor in a phase IIa/b multi-centric clinical study across Canada. This intervention provides more equitable access to individuals, with the ability to receive rehabilitation therapy at home without supervision by a healthcare professional, meaning that Canadians living outside urban centres could take advantage of specialized therapies with remote supervision. This is the first study that could lead to a major change in the management of these patients. It could open the door for visual rehabilitation strategies to other population of visually impaired children, significantly impacting public health strategies.

The purpose of this research is to better understand the impact of cortically-induced blindness (CB) and the compensatory strategies subjects with this condition may develop on naturalistic behaviors, specifically, driving. Using a novel Virtual Reality (VR) program, the researchers will gather data on steering behavior in a variety of simulated naturalistic environments. Through the combined use of computer vision, deep learning, and gaze-contingent manipulations of the visual field, this work will test the central hypothesis that changes to visually guided steering behaviors in CB are a consequence of changes to the visual sampling and processing of task-related motion information (i.e., optic flow).

This research aims to examine changes in plastic potential of the visual system with time from stroke affecting primary visual cortex. We will measure structural and mechanistic aspects of progressive degeneration along the early visual pathways, correlating them with changes in visual performance, and in responsiveness to visual restoration training. This project will advance both scientific knowledge, as well as technical capability and clinical practices for restoring vision and quality of life for people suffering from cortical blindness.

This research will explore if brain stimulation combined with virtual reality therapy improves visual impairment. The stimulation technique is called low-intensity focused ultrasound stimulation (LIFUS). The treatment uses ultrasound to stimulate vision specific parts of the brain. Before this therapy, the participants will get structural brain imaging. Functional brain imaging will be performed before and after the study's completion to measure brain activity response to therapy. The purpose of this research study is to evaluate patients who have had a stroke between 6 and 24 months ago with a visual field impairment. The duration of active participation in the study is 1.5 months.

This project aims to develop a novel visual training paradigm for use in visually-intact participants and those sufferings from stroke-induced visual impairments. Our task design is built upon theories of statistical learning to reduce the overall training burden while still producing profound improvements to visual abilities. Efficacy will be first established in visually-intact controls before testing in stroke survivors to assess the feasibility of this form of learning in the damaged visual system.

This project is intended to collect data using standard clinical tests and psychophysics to quantify the effect of visual cortical damage on the structure of the residual visual system, visual perception, spatial awareness, and brain function. The investigators will also assess the effect of intensive visual retraining on the residual visual system, processing of visual information and the use of such information in real-world situations following damage. This research is intended to improve our understanding of the consequences of permanent visual system damage in humans, of methods that can be used to reverse visual loss, and of brain mechanisms by which visual recovery is achieved.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Quadrantanopia clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Quadrantanopia clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Quadrantanopia trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Quadrantanopia is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Quadrantanopia medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Quadrantanopia clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Focused Ultrasound + Virtual Reality for Visual Field Loss After Stroke, Vision Training for Cortical Blindness and Visual Retraining for Stroke-Related Vision Loss to the Power online platform.
