What’s next, in the open.

New therapies arrive fast, and not all of them deserve your trust. Here is the research we are monitoring and what is ready now.

Research we are monitoring

Early research and clinical trials we follow closely. Not offered at VitalX.

DNA layer Gene therapy for glaucoma vision loss

Researchers are testing gene therapies that aim to protect, and possibly restore, the optic nerve cells that glaucoma damages. Early results are promising, and the first human trial is under way, but no gene therapy is approved for glaucoma yet.

Clinical trials only. Not offered at VitalX.

Cells layer Parkinson’s disease research

Research is moving on several fronts: a test that can detect the disease’s hallmark protein before symptoms appear, existing medications being studied to slow progression, and cell and gene therapies in FDA-regulated trials. None is yet approved to slow or reverse Parkinson’s.

Research only. Not offered at VitalX.
