AGTC-501 for Retinitis Pigmentosa

Durham, North Carolina
This study will evaluate and compare the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of 2 doses of a recombinant adeno-associated virus vector (AGTC-501/laruparetigene zovaparvovec )) to an untreated control group in male participants with X-linked retinitis pigmentosa caused by RPGR mutations.
No Placebo Group
Pivotal Trial (Near Approval)

Trial Details

Trial Status:Active Not Recruiting
Trial Phase:Phase 2, 3
Age:12 - 50
Sex:Male

85 Participants Needed

This trial tests a gene therapy for people with X-linked retinitis pigmentosa. It uses a harmless virus to deliver a healthy gene to eye cells, aiming to improve their function and slow down vision loss. Gene therapy targeting the RPE65 gene has shown promise in treating inherited retinal dystrophies, including retinitis pigmentosa.
No Placebo Group
Pivotal Trial (Near Approval)

Trial Details

Trial Status:Active Not Recruiting
Trial Phase:Phase 3
Age:3+

97 Participants Needed

This trial is testing if N-acetylcysteine (NAC) can help slow down vision loss in people with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP). RP is a genetic condition that causes gradual vision loss. NAC reduces damage caused by too much oxygen around eye cells, potentially protecting vision. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) has been shown to reduce oxidative damage and increase cone function/survival in studies related to RP.

Trial Phase:Phase 3
Age:18 - 65

483 Participants Needed

The purpose of this Phase 2 Study is to see if the investigational study drug, laruparetigene zovaparvovec, also known as AGTC-501, given in both eyes, is safe and works to preserve and/or improve vision and other symptoms of XLRP.

4D-125 for Retinitis Pigmentosa

Durham, North Carolina
This trial tests a new eye injection treatment for males with a genetic eye disease. The treatment replaces a faulty gene with a healthy one to help stop or slow down the disease. Gene therapy has been extensively studied and shows promise for treating genetic eye diseases by delivering functional genes to replace faulty ones.
No Placebo Group

Trial Details

Trial Status:Active Not Recruiting
Trial Phase:Phase 1, 2
Age:12+
Sex:Male

21 Participants Needed

This trial is testing a new treatment for people with a genetic eye disease that causes vision loss. The treatment uses a harmless virus to deliver a healthy gene directly into the eye. This could help improve or stabilize their vision. The study will monitor safety and effectiveness over time. This marks a significant advance in treating genetic eye diseases.
No Placebo Group

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."

"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."

"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."

"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'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."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Retinitis Pigmentosa clinical trials in Raleigh, NC 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 Retinitis Pigmentosa clinical trials in Raleigh, NC 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 Retinitis Pigmentosa trials in Raleigh, NC 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 in Raleigh, NC for Retinitis Pigmentosa 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 in Raleigh, NC 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 Retinitis Pigmentosa medical study in Raleigh, NC?

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 Retinitis Pigmentosa clinical trials in Raleigh, NC?

Most recently, we added Laruparetigene Zovaparvovec for Retinitis Pigmentosa, AGTC-501 for Retinitis Pigmentosa and N-acetylcysteine for Retinitis Pigmentosa to the Power online platform.
