Background: The retina is a thin layer of tissue at the back of the eye. Retinal disease usually reduces a person s mobility because it affects how he or she moves through familiar and unfamiliar environments. Researchers want to see if a virtual reality (VR) tool can provide an easier and more accurate way to assess mobility. Objective: To learn if researchers can track changes in mobility in people with retinal disease using a new VR tool. Eligibility: People aged 5 and older with retinal disease that affects their vision, and healthy volunteers. Design: Participants will have 2-3 clinic visits. Participants will wear goggles or sit in front of a screen while sitting. Using a game controller, they will navigate through 4 obstacle courses presented in VR. Participants will have a medical history exam. They will answer questions about their family history. They will fill out questionnaires about the vision and mobility issues they have in their daily lives. Participants will have a complete eye exam. They will read letters from a chart. Their eye pressure will be measured. Their pupils may be dilated with eye drops. Pictures of their eye will be taken. Lights will be shined in their eyes. Participants will take a visual field test. For this, they will look into a dome and press a button when they see a light. Participants will have an electroretinogram. For this, they will sit in the dark with their eyes patched. Then their eyes will be numbed with eye drops and they will wear contact lenses while watching flashing lights. Participants will have optical coherence tomography. This is a noninvasive procedure. It produces cross-sectional pictures of the retina....

This trial is testing N-acetylcysteine (NAC) tablets to help people with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), a disease that causes vision loss. NAC is an antioxidant that protects eye cells from damage. The goal is to see if NAC can slow down or stop the progression of vision loss in RP patients.

Stem Cells for Retinal Disease

Sacramento, California
This trial is testing if injecting special cells from bone marrow into the eye is safe and possible for patients who are permanently blind due to retinal diseases. The hope is that these cells can help fix the damaged parts of their eyes.

RP1 for Skin Cancer

Victor, New York
This is a Phase 1b, single-center, open-label study, evaluating efficacy and safety of RP1 for the treatment of resectable cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma in up to 12 evaluable patients. In this study, patients will receive RP1 via direct intratumoral (IT) injection into superficial cutaneous solid tumors to assess the safety and tolerability as well efficacy of RP1 treatment. The primary efficacy population is up to 12 evaluable patients with resectable CSCC. The enrollment of patients with CSCC will determine study duration.

Oral disulfiram (Antabuse®) has been shown to improve image-forming vision in animal models with retinal degeneration due to its ability to decrease Retinoic Acid synthesis and consequently reduce hyperactivity in the inner retina. The investigator will aim to evaluate the impact of oral disulfiram on the vision of patients with retinal degeneration who are being treated with the drug in the management of their concurrent alcohol use disorder.

This trial tests a modified virus that carries a light-sensitive gene to help people with vision problems. The virus delivers this gene to eye cells, making them respond to light and potentially improving vision.

The Goal of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and clinical responses following single dose of DSP-3077. Study enrolls both male and female patients in 3 cohorts with each cohort defined by visual acuity (VA) criteria and dose level of DSP-3077. Each cohort will include 4 participants.

Aberrant retinoic acid signaling driven by the degenerating outer retina leads to pathological changes to the inner retina. The resulting hyperactivity of retinal ganglion cells leads to further diminution of the remaining vision in those afflicted with inherited retinal diseases. Inhibition of this pathway has led to improved visual function in murine models of retinal degeneration. This can be accomplished in humans with the FDA-approved irreversible inhibitor of aldehyde dehydrogenases, disulfiram.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I changed my diet in 2020 and I’ve lost 95 pounds from my highest weight (283). I am 5’3”, female, and now 188. I still have a 33 BMI. I've been doing research on alternative approaches to continue my progress, which brought me here to consider clinical trials."

"I've been struggling with ADHD and anxiety since I was 9 years old. I'm currently 30. I really don't like how numb the medications make me feel. And especially now, that I've lost my grandma and my aunt 8 days apart, my anxiety has been even worse. So I'm trying to find something new."

"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."

"As a healthy volunteer, I like to participate in as many trials as I'm able to. It's a good way to help research and earn money."

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."
