Summary

This prospective, comparative pilot study investigates the safety and functional outcomes of intravitreal adalimumab (ADA) in patients with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) and Extensive Macular Atrophy with Pseudodrusen-like Appearance (EMAP).

Participants will receive three intravitreal injections of adalimumab (2 mg/0.05 mL) at two-month intervals (M0, M2, M4).

The primary objective is to assess functional changes after 6 months, focusing on visual-field preservation (Field Preservation Deviation Index - FPDI, Mean Deviation - MD) and best-corrected visual acuity (LogMAR).

Secondary outcomes include alterations in 30-Hz flicker ERG amplitude, OCT parameters (central macular thickness and ellipsoid zone length), and ocular safety measures such as intraocular pressure and inflammatory response.
