Environmental Localization Mapping and Guidance +1 More

Spatial Localization and Mapping (SLAM) and object recognition technology

Recruiting1 award7 criteria
This trial tests a new technology that helps blind people navigate by creating a map of their surroundings and providing visual and sound cues. It targets legally blind individuals using the Argus II retinal prosthesis. The system helps users understand where they are and what objects are around them. The Argus II retinal prosthesis system has been developed to restore some vision to patients blind due to retinitis pigmentosa or outer retinal degeneration.

N-acetylcysteine

Antioxidant

Recruiting1 awardPhase 3
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.

NAC effervescent tablets

Antioxidant

Recruiting2 awardsPhase 1
This trial is testing N-acetylcysteine (NAC) tablets to help people with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), a disease that causes vision loss. NAC is an antioxidant that protects eye cells from damage. The goal is to see if NAC can slow down or stop the progression of vision loss in RP patients.

VR Motility Tool

Recruiting1 awardPhase 1
This trial is testing a virtual reality tool to see if it can help assess mobility in people with retinal disease. Eligible participants are those aged 5 and older with retinal disease that affects their vision, and healthy volunteers. The VR tool will be used to navigate through 4 obstacle courses presented in VR.

Gene Therapy

Recruiting1 awardPhase 1 & 2
This trial is testing a new gene therapy for people with a specific genetic mutation that causes Leber Congenital Amaurosis, a severe form of vision loss.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need insurance to participate in a trial?
Almost all clinical trials will cover the cost of the 'trial drug' — so no insurance is required for this. For trials where this trial drug is given alongside an already-approved medication, there may be a cost (which your insurance would normally cover).
Is there any support for travel costs?
Many of the teams running clinical trials will cover the cost of transportation to-and-from their care center.
Will I know what medication I am taking?
This depends on the specific study. If you're worried about receiving a placebo, you can actively filter out these trials using our search.
How long do clinical trials last?
Some trials will only require a single visit, while others will continue until your disease returns. It's fairly common for a trial to last somewhere between 1 and 6 months.
Do you verify all the trials on your website?
All of the trials listed on Power have been formally registered with the US Food and Drug Administration. Beyond this, some trials on Power have been formally 'verified' if the team behind the trial has completed an additional level of verification with our team.
How quickly will I hear back from a clinical trial?
Sadly, this response time can take anywhere from 6 hours to 2 weeks. We're working hard to speed up how quickly you hear back — in general, verified trials respond to patients within a few days.
