Is eligibility for this investigation restricted to individuals aged 18 or older?
"In order to be considered for this trial, the age requirements are 18 years old minimum and 75 years old maximum."
Is there still availability for potential participants in this trial?
"This clinical trial, which was initially advertised on May 22nd 2023, is still recruiting participants according to the information available on clinicaltrials.gov. The last update took place on October 22nd of the same year."
What is the total number of participants involved in this clinical trial?
"Affirmative, the clinicaltrials.gov portal reveals that this experimental trial is actively recruiting participants. The research was first posted on May 22nd 2023 with a recent update occuring October 22nd of the same year. At present, 18 test subjects across 3 sites are needed for participation."
What is the primary purpose of this clinical investigation?
"The primary endpoint for this 52 week clinical trial is to observe the incidence of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs). Other outcomes include evaluating Mean change from baseline in BCVA (LogMAR) via ETDRS visual acuity charts and Change from baseline in Pattern Standard Deviation (PSD) using Humphrey static perimetry. Additionally, alterations in function of different regions of the retina will be evaluated with HVF analyzers."
Is my participation in this trial permissible?
"This clinical trial seeks to recruit 18 individuals with Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) that are aged between eighteen and seventy-five. To be eligible, patients must satisfy the following criteria: Be of legal age for consent at screening; demonstrate vision loss due to LHON with a BCVA ≥ 0.5 LogMAR; harbour the G11778A mutation in the ND4 gene whilst lacking other primary LHON associated mutations in mitochondrial DNA; present with visual acuity impairment lasting greater than six months but less than ten years prior to enrolment; maintain Hand Motion VA ≤ 2.3 LogMAR throughout ocular"
