Corneal Transplantation clinical trials
Below are recruiting corneal transplantation clinical trials, each written for real people, not researchers. We’re tracking 15 recruiting studies, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- NCT03381794Recruiting
Cornea transplant registry for patients in Germany
This trial is not testing a new treatment. It collects and organizes information about people in Germany who have had a corneal (front-of-eye) transplant since 2001 to help future care and research.
Homburg, SaarlandAges 1–100 - NCT05870566Recruiting
Vitamin and light treatment before risky corneal transplant
This trial studies whether pretreatment with a specific vitamin and ultraviolet light can help a future, high-risk corneal transplant keep its new cornea healthy for longer. It may help people whose corneas already have new blood vessels, which can make transplant results harder.
München, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT06753916RecruitingPhase 2
Trial of a new treatment for high-risk cornea transplants
This study tests a new approach to help prevent cornea transplant failure in people with high-risk conditions, such as blood vessels growing into the cornea. It aims to see if this treatment can improve transplant success.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06844123Recruiting
Robot-assisted corneal transplant surgery study
This study tests a new robot-assisted surgical technique for doing a full-thickness corneal transplant. The goal is to see if the robot can help make the surgery more precise and safer.
ReimsAges 18–60 - NCT05847387Recruiting
Checking endothelial cell health before corneal transplant
This study tests how well a patient’s corneal lining cells are preserved before corneal transplantation, and uses that to guide the transplant approach. It may help improve transplant planning and outcomes for people who need treatment for conditions like keratoconus or Fuchs endothelial dystrophy.
EdegemAges 18 years+ - NCT06830538Recruiting
Recovery and quality of life after corneal transplant
This study looks at how well people recover after a corneal transplant, including their vision, eye health, and overall quality of life. It aims to learn what helps people heal best after surgery.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06261346Recruiting
Growth factors in corneal transplant surgery
This study tests whether adding a special growth factor solution to the fluid used during corneal transplant surgery helps the transplant heal better. It is for patients undergoing a specific type of corneal transplant called DSEK or DMEK.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT07217249Enrolling by invitation
Donor diabetes and cornea transplant success at 5 years
This study looks at how a donor's diabetes might affect the long-term success of a specific type of cornea transplant called DMEK. Participants from an earlier study (DEKS) will be followed for up to 5 years to see how well the transplant is doing.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 30–93 - NCT07561398RecruitingPhase 4
Insulin drops vs amniotic membrane for stubborn corneal sores
This trial compares two treatments for persistent corneal surface wounds that haven't healed with standard care. You'll receive either insulin eye drops or a special tissue graft to help your cornea heal.
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges 16–70 - NCT05436665Recruiting
Cornea transplant surgery for damaged corneal lining in adults
This study looks at a specific type of cornea transplant (called endothelial lamellar transplant) for people with Fuchs disease or other causes of corneal swelling that affect vision. It aims to see whether this surgical approach improves outcomes and quality of life after surgery.
Edegem, AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT06425666Recruiting
Cataract surgery with triple-DMEK for Fuchs dystrophy
This trial tests a combined surgery that treats both cataract and Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy at the same time. It compares the standard cataract surgery to one that also replaces the damaged cornea layer, aiming to improve vision with fewer steps.
Aarhus N, Central JutlandAges 18 years+ - NCT07634913Recruiting
Mobile App for Eye Disease Detection
This study tests a smartphone-based system designed to help detect diseases affecting the front of the eye. Researchers will develop and refine this mobile tool to see if it can accurately identify common eye conditions using photos taken on a phone or with standard eye-examination equipment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07198126Enrolling by invitation
How pterygium surgery changes corneal curvature in astigmatism
This trial compares how the curve of your cornea (which affects vision) changes before and after surgery to remove a pterygium—a fleshy growth on the eye—and repair the area with your own tissue. It is for adults with moderate to advanced pterygium that has already caused astigmatism.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 30–70 - NCT01756365Recruiting
Stem cell eye treatment from your own cornea cells
This trial tests an eye treatment made from your own cornea surface cells, grown in a lab and put back into the eye. It may help people with limbal stem cell deficiency by improving the health of the eye surface after a cell biopsy.
Toronto, OntarioAges 1 year+ - NCT05573802RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Belantamab and other medicines for new multiple myeloma
This early-phase study tests how safe and effective belantamab mafodotin is when combined with lenalidomide and dexamethasone, plus a medicine called nirogacestat, in people with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who cannot have stem cell transplant. It may help shrink the cancer and improve outcomes, while doctors track side effects.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for corneal transplantation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 15 recruiting corneal transplantation studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a corneal transplantation trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a corneal transplantation trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
