Conditions

Retinitis Pigmentosa

Brief summary

The primary efficacy endpoint is to determine if the progressive loss in EZ width assessed as the cumulative loss of EZ (calculated as the area under the curve, AUC) between baseline and M45 is significantly smaller in eyes of participants taking NAC 1800 mg bid compared with eyes of participants taking placebo. EZ width will be measured on a spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) scan through the fovea.

Detailed description

The secondary efficacy endpoints are to assess the relative efficacy in eyes of participants taking NAC 1800 mg bid compared with eyes of participants taking placebo on the basis of the following endpoints: • Change from baseline mean macular sensitivity measured by microperimetry (MP) at M45. • Change from baseline in BCVA measured by Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) protocol at M45.
