Nicotinamide for Retinal Protection in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma (NADIR Trial) (NADIR)

9 de setembro de 2026 atualizado por: University of Chicago

NADIR Trial: A Principal Investigator-Initiated, Single-Center, Open-Label, Active-Controlled Phase 2a Study of High-Dose Nicotinamide (Vitamin B3) Supplementation in Adults With Mild to Moderate Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG)

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a high-dose vitamin B3 supplement called nicotinamide can protect retinal nerve cells in adults with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) who are already receiving standard glaucoma eye drops or laser treatment. The main question it aims to answer is: Does adding nicotinamide to standard glaucoma therapy slow the rate of thinning of the inner retinal nerve cell layer (measured by a non-invasive eye scan) compared to standard therapy alone over 12 months?

Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. Participants in the treatment group will take nicotinamide tablets by mouth, starting at a lower dose (1.5 grams per day) for the first 6 weeks and increasing to the full dose (3.0 grams per day) for the remainder of the 12-month study. Participants in the control group will continue their standard glaucoma care without the supplement.

Researchers will compare retinal imaging measurements between the two groups to see whether nicotinamide reduces the rate of retinal nerve cell thinning over time.

Descrição detalhada

Glaucoma causes progressive and irreversible loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), often continuing despite adequate intraocular pressure control. Mitochondrial dysfunction and depletion of NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) are increasingly recognized as central contributors to RGC vulnerability. Nicotinamide (NAM), a commercially available form of vitamin B3 and potent NAD+ precursor, has demonstrated robust neuroprotection in preclinical glaucoma models and early clinical trials outside the United States.

NADIR is the first IND-regulated, prospective, randomized Phase 2a trial in the United States to evaluate high-dose oral nicotinamide as adjunctive neuroprotective therapy in adults with mild to moderate POAG, using macular ganglion cell layer imaging (SD-OCT) as the primary structural biomarker detectable within 12 months. Ocular vascular perfusion imaging (OCT-A) is included as an exploratory endpoint.

  • Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 20/40 or better (Snellen equivalent) in the study eye
  • Confirmed glaucomatous structural damage on SD-OCT (average GCIPL and/or RNFL below age-adjusted normative mean on device-generated classification) and/or a reproducible visual field defect on Humphrey Visual Field 24-2 consistent with glaucoma, as confirmed by the enrolling glaucoma specialist at screening

  • Poorly controlled diabetes mellitus: HbA1c greater than 9.0% at screening
  • Normal tension glaucoma with documented intraocular pressure consistently 21 mmHg or less without hypotensive therapy

  • Pregnancy, lactation, or intent to become pregnant during the study period
  • Significant cognitive impairment or inability to comply with study requirements
  • Clinically significant media opacity (corneal, lenticular, or vitreal) sufficient to degrade OCT signal quality below device-minimum thresholds, even if BCVA of 20/40 or better is preserved
  • Active or recent uveitis or intraocular inflammation in the study eye within the past 3 months
  • Any condition that, in the investigator's judgment, would preclude safe participation or confound result interpretation
