Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 8 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Subjects affected by Usher Syndrome 1B disease fulfilled eligibility criteria

Who may be able to join

  • Must be willing to adhere to protocol for long-term follow-up as evidenced by written informed consent or parental permission and subject assent.
  • Subjects diagnosed with USH1.
  • Molecular diagnosis of USH1B due to MYO7A mutations (homozygotes or compound heterozygotes).
  • Age eight years old or older at the time of baseline.
  • Visual acuity ≥ 20/640 in at least one eye

Who cannot join

  • Unable or unwilling to meet requirements of the study.
  • Unable to communicate with suitable verbal/auditory and/or tactile sign language (in the opinion of the investigator)
  • Participation in a clinical study with an investigational drug in the past six months.
  • Pre-existing eye conditions that would interfere with the interpretation of study endpoints (for example, glaucoma, corneal or significant lenticular opacities, cystoid macular oedema, macular hole).
  • Complicating systemic diseases in which the disease itself, or the treatment for the disease, can alter ocular function. Examples are malignancies whose treatment could affect central nervous system function (for example, radiation treatment of the orbit; leukemia with CNS/optic nerve involvement). Also excluded would be subjects with immuno- compromising diseases, as there could be susceptibility to opportunistic infection [such as cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis].
  • Subjects with diabetes or sickle cell disease would be excluded if they had any manifestation of advanced retinopathy (e.g. macular edema or proliferative changes).
  • Prior ocular surgery within three months.
  • Any other condition that would not allow the potential subject to complete follow-up examinations during the course of the study and, in the opinion of the investigator, makes the potential subject unsuitable for the study.

About this study

Official title: A Multicentre Longitudinal, Observational Natural History Study to Evaluate Disease Progression in Subjects With Usher Syndrome Type 1B (USH1B)

Natural History Study in Subjects With Usher Syndrome ((USH1B) is a multi-centre, longitudinal, observational study designed to evaluate disease progression in subjects with USH1B by several vision-related assessments.

Read the detailed description

Natural History Study in Subjects With Usher Syndrome (USH1B) is being conducted to understand the progression of disease in USH1B patients as measured by visual acuity and visual field testing and a number of other vision-related assessments. Disease progression will be evaluated as change over time in these measures and associations between the endpoints will be examined.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the natural progression of disease over time in USHIB patients using visual field testing and best corrected visual acuity.

The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate the progression of disease over time in USHIB patients through additional assessments:

  • Microperimetry (only in selected centres)
  • Fundus autofluorescence (FAF)
  • Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
  • Full-field Electroretinogram (ERG),
  • Multifocal Electroretinogram,
  • Vision-related function and quality of life, as measured by the 25-Item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI VFQ-25)

Usher syndrome, type 1B

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Usher Syndrome, Type 1B, run by Fondazione Telethon at 3 sites in 3 countries.

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 5 inclusion and 8 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Italy, Netherlands, Spain. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Dec 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

BCVA - Better Seeing Eyes (time frame: 1 year follow up visit). The study lists 12 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 9 Dec 2024.
