Thank you for your interest in participating in one of our RVCL clinical research studies at the Washington University School of Medicine’s RVCL Research Center in St. Louis.

Our team is dedicated to conducting clinical research studies in order to learn more about the cause of RVCL as well as to understand how RVCL affects the brain, vision, and other functions. Our current studies involve an MRI brain scan as well as asking questions to test memory and thinking processes. We need the following participants for our studies:

  • Have been diagnosed with RVCL
  • Related to a family member with RVCL
  • Healthy participants (not related by blood) to serve as controls

Prior to your possible participation, we will explain the studies in depth and answer any questions that you have. After this discussion, you can decide if you are interested in participating.  Once you agree to becoming a participant, the final step is for us to review some of your health information to verify you are eligible.  If you are interested and want to find out more about the possibility of becoming a participant, please complete the secure contact form below, after which our clinical research coordinator or physician will get in touch with you.
