Lead Sponsor:
Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo di Pavia
Conditions:
Glaucoma
Eligibility:
All Genders
40-75 years
Phase:
NA
Brief Summary
the general purpose of the study is to evaluate the potential beneficial effects of supplementation of a fixed combination of Citicoline 500 mg plus Homotaurine 50 mg on retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) ...
Detailed Description
Secondary objectives are to assess effects on visual acuity, visual field changes, Quality of Life perception (NEI VFQ25 questionnaire), and safety (Incidence of adverse events)
