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.

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.

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.

Why We Started Power

My name is Bask, and I helped to start the company here. We started Power when my Dad was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and I needed a better way to understand how he could access the most promising immunotherapy for his illness.

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 N-acetylcysteine for Retinitis Pigmentosa, OCU400 for Retinitis Pigmentosa and Gene Therapy for Retinitis Pigmentosa to the Power online platform.
