Study summary

The objective of this study is to develop the comprehensive visual function evaluation method in severe visually impaired patient

Read the detailed description

This study is a prospective observational study which consists of 4 Parts; Part 1A, 1B, 2 and 3. Part 1A has been conducted on 6 subjects diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa. Additional examination will be performed using alternative devices imported outside Japan on subjects who completed Part 1A and re-consented (Part 1B). Based on the interim result of Part 1A, Part 2 will be conducted on another 6 subjects with retinitis pigmentosa with improved methodology and the devices used in Part 1B. Part 3 will be conducted in 6 healthy volunteers to obtain comparative data using devices used in Part 1B.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects who have participated in any other clinical trial or clinical study involving visual function evaluation within 6 months
  • Subjects who have history of surgery, past history, and complications (cardiac/ hepatic/ renal/ respiratory/ hematological diseases, optic nerve diseases causing marked loss of visual field, and uveitis etc.) that potentially affect evaluation and safety of the study
  • Pregnant women
  • Subjects who are judged that continuation of the study is difficult during the study period
  • Subjects who are employed by the company sponsoring this study, an organization or institution related to this study
