About this study
This study will carry out a detailed descriptive analysis of a large population of patients with hereditary retinal dystrophies (HRD): clinical, paraclinical and genetic data.
The information drawn from these analyzes will provide a better understanding of the pathophysiology of these rare diseases and this may ultimately impact the medical management of patients (targeted therapy).

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
OCT-AProcedure or surgery
Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A)
Visual acuity (ETDRS)Procedure or surgery
Visual acuity tested with ETDRS score (Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study)
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Patients with suspicion of hereditary retinal dystrophy | Not described Receives: Procedure: OCT-A; Procedure: Visual acuity (ETDRS) |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Description of the phenotypic characteristics of patients with hereditary retinal dystrophies.
Phenotypic diagnosis of the type of retinal dystrophy based on all the examinations performed as part of the usual care and examinations added by the research (OCT-Angiography - Optical coherence tomography, and visual acuity with ETDRS scale : Early Treatment Diabetic Retinal Study, ETDRS).
Measured: Baseline
Description of the genotypic characteristics of patients with hereditary retinal dystrophies.
Determination of the genetic mutations responsible for retinal dystrophy in order to confirm the phenotypic diagnosis and identify correlation between the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics
Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Hereditary Retinal Dystrophies, run by Fondation Ophtalmologique Adolphe de Rothschild at 1 site in France.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study was stopped early (reason given: Insufficient enrollment). Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Description of the phenotypic characteristics of patients with hereditary retinal dystrophies. (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Dec 2025.
